Become both a kernel hacker and a UTF-8 hacker and implement UTF-8
support in the kernel, such that terminal and console drivers in
the kernel can use it.

And tread very carefully, such that other kernel hackers don't
feel tempted to start screaming "BLOAT!".

displaying and typing czech letters

[tomas rodr]

Hello,

I am currently tied by X to display the following ěščřžýáí, etc. 
Likewise the keyboard encoding is done by setxkbmap. What steps 
would I have to take to achieve the same result without running X? 
Would changing the font solve the displaying of the letters? And 
how were I to type them?

If I'm even on the right tracks,

$ kbd -l

doesn't list what I think I need.

thank you,
Tomáš
