Hi, I'm stuck at printing utf-8, does anybody know how to print UTF-8 chars?

I THINK only ascii characters work at this state.

Maybe writing your own printing driver by drawing them pixel by pixel would help?

Is graphic mode that supports drawing enabled by default on grub or you have to enable it? If so how can you do it?

As @Zduniusz says, you'll need a custom driver with custom graphics code to support characters beyond the basic ascii interface.
