I had the same problem and made a quick fix. It is quite possibly a bad thing
to do, but it works for me, so I don't care :)
In the vi-source, subdirectory common, file term.c:
Change the line (283 in the source I have, nvi 1.34)
if (isprint(ch)) {
to
if (isprint(ch) || ch > '\177') {
and compile a new binary.
The problem is that isprint() in freebsd only cares about the first 128
characters, which is insufficient when you live for example in Sweden.
I didn't feel like checking all characters above 127, so I just allowed them
all out of pure laziness and lack of time.
Use this hack if you dare, I take no responsibility whatsoever if this gives you
any trouble.
