Inputting Chinese in vt?

[zhangxiaobao]

Hello,

is there any way to input Chinese, maybe using an input method, in the vt(4) console?

Thanks.

Thanks, I have already read that.

I was asking specifically about the new vt console in kernel. I suppose if it can display Chinese but not input that, it wouldn't be very useful?

You can use framebuffer on some Linux distros. Doing a quick port search, though, indicates it isn't available for FreeBSD. I have a page that goes through the basics on Linux, if you are interested. This was Japanese, but the principle is probably the sam.e

I repeat, as far as I know it's only for Linux at this point.
