consoled is a replacement aimed to bring a kernel VT component to

fonts, all locales, etc). See also kmscon (from the same author).
I think the word you are looking for is crusty as in stale bread.
The issue of VT not supporting unicode, etc is valid, but really, how
many users actually use a VT any more. To me about the only thing it's
useful for is typing startx. :) -- or debugging LFS.
If it's a system without X, then use ssh.
