Bug in one of the programs called by the "console" bootscript, because the key 
doesn't produce the correct character even in bash command line.

This seems to work for Russian, thanks for finding this patch! However,

1) We have to document what the user should set the "Character set" option 
to--probably it is a 8-bit character set that contains all characters that 
links 
is supposed to display.

2) This doesn't work for Chinese, because there is no such character set (but 
this is not a regression as compared to unpatched links).

3) Filling in the forms still doesn't work in framebuffer-based graphical mode.
