The console should support UTF-8 character display, as well, though this would probably mean that it would need to be a framebuffer of some sort. >How-To-Repeat: Create a file with the following contents: === Begin text file === This system is running FreeBSD which is Copyright © 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project, and Copyright © 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California.
