I use cyrillics very often, and I'm using UTF-8 almost exclusivelly.
But UTF-8 support in the console is still not complete.

Hmm this didn't work for me.
I applied your combined patch, recompiled the kernel but backspace
behaviour is still wrong.
My test (all this in UTF-8 mode):
root# cat
<several(8)-cyrillic-letters><several(3)-backspaces><ENTER>
<more-than-expected-cyrillic-letters>
root#
Is there something else I need to do to for your patches to work?
Or is there "defaultttyutf8.patch" included in the combined patch?
Or is there something else I MUST NOT do?
