This patch adds a new converter for encoding UCS-2 and UTF-8, but can easily extend to cover all general encodings. There is no needs to adds something into kernel or we ends up in tons of unneded encodings embedded, encoding modules must be made as klds. I even remember I saw some code in the freebsd-i18n archive. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
