OpenBSD has excellent support of the 7bit ascii subset of UTF-8. What else would you *really* need? For my German conversations I'm in favor to rewrite German umlauts like so: ae/Ae oe/Oe ue/Ue and sz and be still UTF8 compliant, regardless the platform in use. I understand that for cyrillic this would be a problem though. Nevertheless you could live with KOI8 and use icu's uconv for converting that stuff to UTF8 if you need to interchange with UTF8 world.
