Noury,
Yes, these will be treated as UTF-8.
Note that the actual code handling these values doesn't do anything
special, but because the underlying functions that will receive the
composed values (ie. VSIFOpen()) expect UTF-8 then the values at the
higher level are also implicitly assumed to be UTF-8.
Best regards,
