Hello, is there a way to add 256 colors in tsch?

In FreeBSD 12.1 backspace in terminal only deletes one byte of multi-byte character. For example: # cat > /tmp/test tы<backspace>t # cat /tmp/test t�t # hexdump -C /tmp/test 74 d1 74 0a Where 'ы' is a Russian letter (D18B in hexadecimal form). You may see that only second byte of multi-byte...
