You could always try FreeBSD. They've had UTF-8 support since version 5. The

that its does where others' don't).

FreeBSD doesn't support UTF-8 in the console.  It only does UTF-8 in X11.

Well, the point is that it does UTF-8 in libc, which is always the real issue. X11 really has nothing to do with it. Frankly, the syscons has always been a bit crufty. I've never even been able to get it to do any mode other than 24x80. On the other hand, it has better mouse support than most consoles, so...

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation
has ever borrowed largely for education.  Probably, no nation is rich
enough to pay for both war and civilization.  We must make our choice;
we cannot have both.
