Greenstone's metadata.xml files do support UTF-8, and the GLI will write
Unicode metadata into them as UTF-8. Try copying some Unicode text from
your web browser and paste it into the GLI -- it should be saved into
the metadata.xml file correctly, and Greenstone shouldn't have any
trouble importing it.

Michael
