Unfortunately OpenBSD's libc doesn't have real locale support, a patch once existed called "citrus" but it was never fully committed due to developer disagreements I suppose.
There might be ways to deal with foreign characters, but know nothing about it. Sorry.. but that's all I know.. |
|

As I said, I know very little about all this international stuff.. I rarely need anything beyond the odd accented character, but that citrus patch is available if you wish to analyze it.
http://www.hi-matic.org/distfiles/citrus/OpenBSD/ Remember that it's 3rd party work, thus.. not official.. hope it helps. |

well, i did like setup
pretty easy and fast to install (i need to do some minor adjustments) works out of the box no problem installing 3rd party software (fvwm-2.6.27, rxvt-unicode) Also I'm looking very much forward to pcc (really i which FreeBSD would work on it as well.) I did install everything from packages... I once tried doing this on FreeBSD, but i failed due to some missing dependencies... And I do like very much OpenBSD philosophy + all the excitement when you install new OS |

I use KDE on a notebook. Konsole is a ground-up rewrite of Xterm which is very good [e.g. it displays, antialiased, all chinese characters of a cat'ed file (below), where uxterm displays some of them. It is in ports/x11/base3, but I don't know if it works outside of KDE [never tried].
Note also ports/{japanese,chinese,korean} et al.

I tried urxvt but it didn't display unicode chars that well. Could be some setting issue though as I had to compile it myself as there isn't a port for it.
I tried ROXterm from the ports and it supports unicode rather well. Still having some issues with it though as I can't get it to work with screen. It starts to print ä as "a in screen although I have set 'defutf8 on and utf8 on on' in the .screenrc. |

I solved the multilanguages problem in terminal with Roxterm. It is better for this than gnome-terminal because it lets you specify a default encoding, which I've set to utf-8. It is also easy to switch encoding with a right click. You can also save different profiles. I have one with a good font for chinese (wen quan yi) and one with default fixed.
After quite a few months of struggling I can now display and type anything I want in terminal. I don't use a big desktop environment, I use ion. I also managed to make SCIM work. If you need more details, let me know. |
