I've just been fiddling with some unicode/utf-8 stuff, and managed to figure out how to get both xterm and more (aka less) to properly deal with utf-8 characters. It then occured to me that it might be nice if I could cut and paste utf-8 stuff into vi, which is the text editor that I happen to use. After a quick bit of googling I found this: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.editors/2011-03/msg00010.html Apparently, it is correct that FreeBSD distributes nvi as vi (and as far as I can tell, that _does not_ currently support utf-8), but I sort-of thought that maybe this "original" vi, now with unicode support, had at least made it into the ports tree, but I can't seem to find it there. Am I wrong? Is it in there? If so, where please?
