Most boxes are either running X or managed via ssh and ssh client is running in graphical mode. My proposal is NOT about displaying all assigned unicode code points in character-mode. It's about switching the whole system to UTF-8 and making syscons working correctly in new curicumstances. It seems that other parts of FreeBSD are mostly ready. Read about my experience of using vipw with UTF-8. Alexander Churanov
