Yes, that is correct.

Set it to text that is encoded as UTF8.

That is correct. If you are just storing the changes in the Data Grid  
you don't need to do anything. By setting the  
dgTemplateFieldEditor["utf8text"] property the Data Grid knows to  
store whatever text the user enters as UTF8 in the Data Grid array.
