I cannot reproduce.  I just copied these letters into the command
line of a ksh(1) running in xterm(1), edited the command line
interactively, and executed the command line to print these characters
together with some other characters, and everything worked as expected.

Are you working in X11?  Which terminal emulator?  Which shell?
Or at the PC console?  At a serial console?  Which architecture?

Are you using UTF-8 encoding?  On OpenBSD, you must.  No other encoding
is supported.

What exactly are you doing, what do you expect to happen, and what
exactly happens instead?

That sounds as if you were entering wrongly encoded characters or are
attempting to configure an usupported encoding.

That is expected.  Vi does not support UTF-8 display at this time.
You can still paste UTF-8 into vi(1) and edit the raw bytes in vi(1),
i do that frequently and it works.

Sorry, i'm not familiar with where the installer gets keyboard layouts
from, maybe someone else can answer that; then again, there might be
reasons why the number of layouts supported by the installer is
limited, i don't know.
