That should be (require 'daph "daph-ideograms"), see `C-h f require':.

   require is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
   
   (require FEATURE &optional FILENAME NOERROR)
   
   If feature FEATURE is not loaded, load it from FILENAME.
   If FEATURE is not a member of the list ‘features’, then the feature is
   not loaded; so load the file FILENAME.
   
   If FILENAME is omitted, the printname of FEATURE is used as the file
   name, and ‘load’ will try to load this name appended with the suffix
   ‘.elc’, ‘.el’, or the system-dependent suffix for dynamic module
   files, in that order.
