The base system has a UTF-8 version of every supported locale in 5.2-CURRENT,
but for previous releases (inc. 5.1), you'll have to install misc/utf8locale
from the ports collection.

Support for UTF-8 (and other multi-byte encodings) has been greatly improved
since 5.1 and 5.2, so you'd do well to upgrade to 5.3 when it's released.
