	The vt terminal only supports UTF-8 and will display UTF-8 text
correctly no matter what the locale settings are.

	For typing you'll have to select an appropriate keyboard map that
supports typing accented characters, with us.acc.kbd the compose mechanism
works.

	Only if there's a problem with using the vt console as a UTF-8
terminal.
