Thanks for advises! New version: if received text in UCS2, convert it to UTF-8, then check if console supports UTF-8, if yes - print message in vty as usual, if not - print message in hex.

I'd suggest http://www.lemoda.net/c/ucs2-to-utf8/ and simply output
UTF-8.

Maybe output an error if setlocal(LC_CTYPE,NULL) does not report that
a UTF-8 locale is being used.
