 There are several parts to this:
 
  - sysinst uses the locale as defined in the selected translation
    msg file, and those could use UTF-8 locales
 
  - some versions of sysinst are compiled in space-limited environments
    (crunched binaries) and in some of the wide character support is
    ommited from curses(3)
 
  - there is currently no support for CVJK in wscons(4)/wsdisplay(4)
