UTF2 is an old name for what is now called UTF-8, and it is what you need to put in LC_CTYPE source files (/usr/src/share/mklocale/*.src) to get something which resembles UTF-8 on FreeBSD 4.7 and earlier. (-STABLE and -CURRENT have a proper UTF-8 encoding now, and UTF2 is being phased out) See this document: Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, "Hello World", Proceedings of the Winter 1993 USENIX Technical Conference, USENIX Association, January 1993. [http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/utf.pdf] "Our proposal, which was originally known informally as UTF-2 and FSS-UTF, is now referred to as UTF-8 and has been approved by ISO to become Annex P to ISO 10646."
