I suspect those characters could be made to work in Akib's console
if his kernel supports KMS and setfont etc ..
So I guess you, Akib, mean $LANG="en_US.utf8" in your execution
context is insufficient to make your system show the utf8 charaters
in question, not that there's no fix possible? ;)
IDK, but perhaps your app could use a wrapper that sets up a font,
along with a utf8 map that will show the necessay characters?
See:
info setfont
and
info showconsolefont
