Importing UTF-8 files

[Brahmanathaswami]

i would highly recommend a "deep read" of the read me docs for 7.05 
where there is super detail info on all the unicode changes

so much changed, mission critical stuff, a lot easier, but you need to 
do it right.

OH! the release notes for 7.1 don't have any of the unicode business... 
I don't know where LC is documenting that now..

So I extracted this for my own ref
