Hey Michiel!

 MvdV> You could not see my Hebrew characters...

Yes I can.  However I do lack a decent console font for Hebrew as well as some other languages but that has absolutely nothing to do with limited utf-8 support.  See below as evidence;

MvdV> Hebrew: יש לי סנאים במכנסיים שלי

The codes above are verifiable as Hebrew text by http://www.unicode.org/charts/ as well as other sites that post the utf-8 codes.  I can also display them on the terminal using any of the Hebrew fonts except they are extremely difficult for me to read given my poor eyesight.

Life is good,
Maurice
