	Yeap, it does. :)

	You have to load a font with iso10646-1 charset, then put zvt
widget in UTF-8 mode, with "echo -ne '\033%G'", and you'll be able to see
any utf-8 file, for instance, a .po file converted with iconv (depending on
the glyphs included in the font, but normally it has support for most
European languages)

	It also converts a text selection into utf-8 when pasting it, but
it can't (afaik) do the same with the characters directly typed with the
keyboard.  By the way, to return to the initial direct-to-font (iso-8859-1)
state, you have to send \033%@ (or any other character but G).
