There is already preliminary support for propper UTF-8 handling in the framebuffer console on OpenBSD. It's still buggy, but work is on-going. Regarding the OP's specific question - if the files being edited only contain those specific UTF-8 sequences and are otherwise plain ASCII text, then a simple work-around might be a script that replaces each two-byte sequence with the corresponding ISO-8859-1 character, writes that to a temporary file, invokes vi for editing the temporary file, then converts it back to UTF-8 afterwards.
