Default OpenBSD with proper encoding

Hi,
I did some reading but I couldn't find the exact answer.

General question:
How do you locale an OpenBSD 6.1?

Detailed question:
I changed my local LC_CTYPE to pl_PL.UTF-8, but still don't see polish characters in the console nor in vi. Although vi encodes them properly, so I can see them ok elsewhere. Settings in X+fluxbox work fine.

I believe UTF‐8 works in the console, but there are no Unicode characters in the console font.

/usr/bin/vi does not support UTF‐8. (“pkg_add nvi--iconv” will give you a fork that does, although I caution that it has had some serious bugs in the past, since fixed.)
