We know these types of issues for quite a long time, but I don't have a desired
behavior in mind.

For now, the workaround would be to set the correct locale:

  env LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 nvi /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cd.c

or to make use of the 8-bit mode:

  env LC_CTYPE=C nvi /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cd.c

Specific encoding can be set after the file is loaded, with ":se
fe=iso-8859-1", but 8-bit mode cannot (unfortunately due to a display related
bug which I cannot solve).
