In UTF-8 mode, the kernel uses the application character map for
conversion of composed 8-bit key codes in the keymap to UTF-8, and thus
the argument of the "-m" parameter should be set to the encoding of the

Linux-&linux-version; in UTF-8 keyboard mode assumes that accented
characters produced via dead keys or composing are in the Latin-1 range
of Unicode, and it is impossible to change this assumption. Thus,
accented characters needed for, e.g., the Czech language, can't be typed
on Linux console in UTF-8 mode (but files containing these characters can
be displayed correctly). The solution is either to avoid the use of
UTF-8, or to install the X window system that doesn't have this
limitation in its input handling.</para>
Linux-&linux-version; interprets dead keys and composition rules in the
keymap correctly only when the source characters to be composed together
are not multibyte. This deficiency doesn't affect keymaps for European
languages, because there accents are added to unaccented ASCII
characters, or two ASCII characters are composed together. However, in
UTF-8 mode it is a problem, e.g., for the Greek language, where one
sometimes needs to put an accent on the letter <quote>&alpha;</quote>.
The solution is either to avoid the use of UTF-8, or to install the
