I am using mcedit which is a part of Midnight Commander (mc). It is based upon cooledit which supports unicode. You can install it by using "pkg_add mc" or from ports. I work a lot with DocBook in UTF8 and I normally use Quanta+ but occasionally I need to make a quick change from a terminal. I then use mcedit. I find mcedit extremely user friendly and very easy to use. It has a very nice "drop" down menu if you press F9, which for example gives you spelling check via ISpell.
