I have another question about UTF-8 and kbd: some keymaps are defined twice, with Unicode notation and numerical (or litteral) notation, like mk-utf.map and mk-cp1251.map. Since Unicode notation is needed to input non-ASCII characters, all keymaps will sooner or later provide a -utf variant. But why is Unicode notation handled in a different manner by loadkeys? This distinction could be made depending on KDGKBMODE ioctl but not on input format so that a single keymap can be used.
