How does smarty deal with unicode, specifically UTF-8 templates and
passed string vars? Does it "just work", or are there steps I need to
take to make it happen?

Also does anyone have any links to articles on converting projects
from 8-bit encodings to unicode? I've not found anything that's much
good so far.
