 : "# wsconsctl -k -w encoding=pl" *should* work. It doesn't

 Looks like that section and the wskbd.4 manpage should be updated. The
 "pl" encoding is not present in the kernel. Neither are these: cz, ru, ua.
 The "fi" (Finnish) encoding isn't present either, but, setting it works
 because "sv" and "fi" share the same numeric value:
 
 ```
 $ egrep 'KB_(FI|SV)' /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
 action(KB_FI,   0,      0x0900, "fi",   ,       "Finnish")              \
 action(KB_SV,   0,      0x0900, "sv",   ,       "Swedish")              \
 $
 ```
 
 To get a "pl" encoding, try one of the keymap files present in
 
 /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/
 
 In /etc/wscons.conf, add a line like:
 
 mapfile /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.pl.iso8859-2
