Hi, If you don't want to change the keyboard layout then you need
an input system capable of typing the language you are interested
in. And a font with those characters. And a character encoding
compatible with wscons. If I remember correctly mlterm has wscons
support, you could use that with emacs and get unicode support plus
several input systems. Remember to configure a suitable font for
mlterm. I haven't tryed that though, ask for advise in the list.
