utf-8 console

[mecho]

Hi, I am sorry for the late answer. This is how I set my console to display Cyrillic character properly. I removed completely console-tools package and setup kbd package instead.
Then enter this commands as root:

echo -n -e '\033%G' - tells the console that incoming data is UTF-8
setfont Cyr_a8x16 - loads my Cyrillic font
kbd_mode -u - sets the keyboard mode to be UTF-8
loadkeys bg_pho-utf8 - loads my Cyrillic phonetic keyboard layout

I have this in a shell script and run it whenever I need Cyrillic in console. I still don't know how to save the configuration. Hope this was in any way helpful
