To danes with our national characters æøå we need the latter because #vi prints two byte hex sequences for æ, ø, or å. #vi handles them correctly except for the printing of them.
#vi and #nvi use the same #man page.Update:
On #netbsd #vi is also #nvi. Here you must install #nvi2 to get #nvi if you need æ, ø, and å support.Best wishes from T. R. Dane (The Real Dane

Good point for BSDs.
On Slackware (and Debian), nvi 1.81.6 is patched (encoding/wide-char fixes), so UTF-8 works fine (æ ø å).
