Vi and UTF-8

[Geoff Shang]

Hi,

I don't use Vi so I don't have any idea about this.

A friend is doing some translation work and needs to work in a UTF-8 
environment.  She said she'd prefer to use Vi, but implied that she thinks 
that it doesn't have UTF-8 support.

I'dve thought that it would by now.

So can anyone tell me if Vi (or possibly a clone) has UTF-8 support, and 
if so, if she needs to do anything special to activate it?

Geoff.
