Terminus likely is the best font to use on the console for utf8:
media-fonts/terminus-font with the default USE flags will work well.
In /etc/conf.d/consolefont set the consolefont variable. I use:
consolefont="ter-v20b"
the v stands for utf8, 20 is a 10x20 pixel font, b is bold (use n for
single pixel wide stems, b for two pixel wide stems).
I do not set consoletranslation or unicodemap in that file.
Set unicode="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
The default /etc/env.d/02locale is:
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
You may want to add LANG=en_UK.UTF-8 to that. Or add it to your $HOME
shell startup script. I'd leave the two LC_ settings, though. They
are important for portage.
You might want to set dumpkeys_charset in /etc/conf.d/keymaps. The
comment explains it.
For that keymap config in that file, I find that emacs2 works quite well.
On gentoo that is stored in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/emacs2.map.gz.
(The .map file is plain text.) That said, you might prefer "uk".
Either way, though, I suspect that you'll find the quail input methods
to be the only good way to enter non-ascii on the console.
