Add

  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

to the preamble of your document and UTF-8 is supported (well, at
least for most languages based on the latin script).  Be warned,
however, that you probably have to remove the Byte-Order Mark (BOM)
manually from the beginning of your TeX source file in case your
editor adds it unnecessarily.  The BOM encoded in UTF-8 is the
three-byte sequence

  0xEF 0xBB 0xBF
