Mainly, output path works but is not customizable yet. Input path, APIs for user-mode and user-mode applications are not completed. I feel, however, that encoding the keyboard input to UTF-8 is the only real bottleneck for me. ioctls and user-mode applications require some routine and very predictable work. Probably, all of this is doable in 8.0 timeframe. I've updated the wiki with current status and brief description of unicode: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SysconsUnicodeProject Sincerely, Alexander Churanov
