Brltty does not read utf-8, it does not need to know how it is encoded,
it just reads unicode codepoints from vcsu.

Normally what you would just do is make the application (web browser,
editor, etc.) properly consider the encoding of the page, and then just
emit utf-8 to give it to the kernel where it'll be translated to unicode
codepoints that brltty will read.

I'm aware that to be able to display chinese on the real screen you
would use zhcon and such. But for braille output, you do not need this,
you can just make applications emit utf-8 as appropriate.
