I added "-8" manually to /etc/event.d/ttyX and it ignored non-ascii characters I typed, so the fix is OK.

But I only managed to find the following diff for this fix, and it "removes" the -8 for serial consoles. I think the real fix is elsewhere and I couldn't find it ? Does it getes applied at install-time only ?

Making getty system locale aware (maybe by reading /etc/default/locale ? ) may be a solution for the root of the problem. But a solution like that should take into account this problem: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html#problem
