yes, this is good now check for tty cat /etc/default/console-setup # CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SETUPCON # Consult the console-setup(5) manual page. ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]" CHARMAP="UTF-8" CODESET="guess" FONTFACE="Fixed" FONTSIZE="8x16" VIDEOMODE= # The following is an example how to use a braille font # FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf' and for vtty In addition to LANG/LC_ALL, stty iutf8 is needed to tell the terminal what to do, you might need setfont then to load a useful font and mapping. If you still have problems check your kernel config for CONFIG_NLS_xx settings, you may need to modprobe nls_utf8 if it doesn't load automatically (I think this is only required for Unicode filenames though). Some linux distributions provide unicode_start and unicode_stop scripts to automate this. If less causes problems it may require the environment variable LESSCHARSET to be set (or unset if it's wrong). Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux is invaluable. http://superuser.com/questions/556993/how-to-display-unicode-in-a-linux-virtual-terminal I use setxkbmap in vtty and loadkeys on a console (tty) I hope this helps you further
