As should be noted, support in wscons(4) isn't really possible.. not for much of the extended characters in unicode, they simply can't be displayed with the default VGA fonts, so you'll need X and a UTF8 compatible terminal (xterm/etc) to actually play around with the fancy stuff.

It's not an easy thing to get right, Unix never really was designed to take advantage of "funny" characters.. it's an ASCII world with some kludges, and personally that's why I love it.
