Hello!
I tried to get the console working with Unicode in Dbian Hurd. It took me quite a time to find out that /dev/vcs was set without encoding:
# showtrans /dev/vcs /hurd/console
Unicode did not work until i set it to /hurd/console --encoding=UTF-8 via settrans /dev/vcs /hurd/console --encoding=UTF-8
The rest is working very well. I followed the instructions at http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/HurdConsole
