Rendering UTF8 in the bare terminal?
As noted on the release notes for kmscon version 9, we need libtsm 4 or greater. The release notes contain a link to libtsm, which has a v4.0.2 release. It looks like this does NOT have the developer-created tarball so we'll just use the "Source code (tar.gz)" link.

Rendering UTF8 in the bare terminal?
So I click the link for the kmscon located in debian unstable (I could have picked testing, doesn't really matter). On that page there's a sidebar on the right, with a link titled "Homepage", that links to a github repo. I also checked a few other distros and this seems to be the fork everybody is using, so let's go with that.
