Not in Emacs 21. Emacs 21 will just make a hash of Japanese text in
UTF-8, by displaying it as a series of escaped octal bytes. (i.e.
\375\277...) that apparently has meaning only to Emacs 21. It should map
it out correctly, though. UTF-8 in Emacs 21 only works for characters in
the range U+0000-U+33FF and U+E200-U+FFFF.
