freebsd stable - Aug 2013 - State of Unicode collation support in FreeBSD?

[crossposted to -stable and -i18n, replies directed to -stable]

Hi everyone,

could someone point me to infos regarding Unicode collation support in FreeBSD?
All I could find was https://wiki.freebsd.org/KonradJankowski/Collation but
that page has not been changed in more than two years. Looking at sources of
-current it doesn't look like those changes made it into the source tree
yet.

I think no one is really interested to add real UTF-8 support to
Syscons. Currently you can get UTF-8 output by using Syscons xterm
ttys (which is default) and set your appropriate locales. For input
it's currently (unfortunately) not supported.

If you use X.Org, then your fine using UTF-8.

Cheers,
