Many thanks Ken,

I love them! 
I could even see the greek accented characters, although due to kernel 
limitations, I can't write them.

For those who wish to type accented characters in console and using vim, it is
pretty easy, you can do that using digraphs.
For instance: 
ί =i%
ά =a%
έ =e%
ό =o%
ύ =u%
ΐ =i3
and so on ...

You can enter a digraph, while you are in insert mode and you are pressing 
CTRL-k 
and typing 2 extra chars (:digraphs to see them all).

Excellent job ken, I don't use console that much but it is much better now.
