I just noticed that I no longer get accented characters in my terminals (I've tested lxterminal and gnome-terminal so far). Instead of the Swedish characters "åäö" I get "???". Far from ideal. This used to work a while ago (we're talking days, possibly weeks). As you notice it works well in non-terminals (like in Chromium where I've writing this). Anyone else seeing the same behaviour?
A search turned up this answer-less forum post[1] , if there's an answer then I'll re-post it there too :)

You will probably have to tweak your KEYMAP and CONSOLEFONT settings in /etc/rc.conf. I remember that a while back I've changed it so I could get accented characters in ttys, however I don't remember well if things worked in terminal emulators but I think it did work fine (I use XFCE and terminal as a terminal emulator). For the record I'm using and I've always used bash. For reference/example this is what I have in /etc/rc.conf KEYMAP="pt-latin9 compose.latin1" CONSOLEFONT="lat9v-16" -- Mauro Santos
