The internal POV-Ray for Windows editor (currently) does not support UTF-8 
encoding as far as I know. You can use the backslash-u encoding with it 
though. It requires looking up the correct encoding in one of the many 
Unicode tables you can find with Google.

If you want full Unicode support naively, I think newer versions of WordPad 
or even Notepad as standard Windows editors support optional UTF-8 output. 
Still, remember that we do not support surrogates (supplementary characters) 
for the POV-Ray "text" object.
