What kind of output are you trying to get?

Using UnicodeRTF should convert the UTF-8 to RTF escapes, so you would
use that if you're looking to do RTF output.  If you're doing HTML or
ThML output, you just need to add something like <meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> at the
beginning of your output page and make sure all output is UTF-8 by using
the Latin1UTF8 filter on all non-UTF-8 encoded texts.

Other output formats would need new filters to be written for them,
assuming they can support Unicode.
