Descriptive text what unicode / utf-8 is.

Using UTF-8 in FreeBSD

First we need to set the LC_ALL and LANG variables, find out which locales can support UTF-8.

cd /usr/share/locale/; ls *UTF-8 -d

Add the following environment variables to the appropriate file, ~/.profile or ~/.login or ~/.bashrc.

export LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8

Now login and logout to have the effects apply.
