Now we're on the BSD subject, any knowledge on how well it's implemented
in FreeBSD in comparison to OpenBSD?

I can't speak for OpenBSD, but FreeBSD's unicode support is very good. It was a major effort for RELENG_5, and it's gotten better since.

I'm surprised that the compose key would only support 8859-1 characters, though. As I understand it, Xorg's locale information is independent from system locale info.
