Yes. For instance, on a Mac OS9 with Cyrillic support, just select a
Cyrillic keyboard and type into the "Advanced search" fields in
Google. If you also select "Russian" or "Bulgarian" in Google's list
of languages on the same page, you will se your hits directly in
Cyrillic. If you do not select a language, the search will still
work, but hits will be displayed as question marks, and you will have
to click on them to see the pages in question. You will also see that
your search word is translated into Unicode numbers in the search
field.

The "Composer" part of these programs is also a good WISIWYG
HTML-editor for UTF-8.
