Solved how to let VT(4) display chinese and input chinese ?

Kai Burghardt said:
This has been asked before (Thread 57770). To display hanzi all you need to do is loading a font containing said characters → vidcontrol(1). ? Unfortunately the FreeBSD system is not shipped with any input method (yet). There is at least a proof of concept for an input method (Bopomofo).​

A search on google found this font.
For input uim-fep in textproc/uim might work, but I don't know about input efficiency.

Not sure uim-fep works for Chinese. But when I tried at past, it worked for Japanese. Note that you cannot startx from within uim-fep.

And about font.
vt doesn't support TTF and/or OTF format. Just support the specific format of bitmap fonts. For example, Ed Maste's b16.fnt supports Japanese. Not sure it covers other CJK area, though. But I can read Japanese texts with, for example, misc/lv on vt console with b16.fnt.

Why bitmap font only?
Maybe because to work well with least-powered and memory-restricted single board computers. FreeBSD covers such a use-cases if the instruction set is supported. (There should be slow 64bit ARM / RISC-V boards with a few amount of memory, but cheap.)
