I understand that Ubuntu uses UTF-8 as default. Is this correct?

I collect so many bits and pieces in various scripts that Unicode is nigh-vital to me.

Open a terminal and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" to see for yourself (...if you have installed Ubuntu already.) All of your installed locales will be utf8.
