Vim has no problem with Unicode characters outside of ASCII. The problem is most likely to be found in either the font you use in Vim, or in the setup of your system. To find out what isn't working, we need more information, such as
locale
in a terminal?Locale gives the following output
[root@localhost site]# locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= – Hulk – 2010-07-08T07:32:46.460

Not enough information. VIM can be run in a many ways: as GVIM locally or on foreign X Window server; as VIM locally in terminal or in terminal emulator or over ssh from other box. Problem could be in both input and output and without knowing what are they it is impossible to respond to the question. – Dummy00001 – 2010-07-08T10:46:00.080
