Is there anyway to have something easily done about it upstream ? Would the license be an issue if there's any about it ? Where should i contact to try to see if they can include it upstream ? Thank you. Regards -HerbalNekoTea

Locales are very much a userspace thing, the kernel doesn't care or know about
it. If you're using the line-mode virtual consoles rather than Gnome terminal
or xterm or other GUI terminal program, you'll need an appropriate font, but
again, that's more userspace than kernel.
If you read the last comment that you're pointing at in that bugzilla, it
flat out tells you how to fix your issue *in userspace*.
This is not a kernel problem.
