My preference in text file editing goes to [http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html EditPad Lite]. By default, it edits using the ANSI charset, but it can convert the whole buffer to UTF-8 using the Convert/Unicode/ANSI->UTF-8 function. There are of course lots of other commercial software around which are able to save files in UTF-8 encoding.

If you don't know the UTF-8 sequence, you can convert it from UTF-16 manually by converting it to Binary and using the following table (ref. [http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr26/]):
  UTF-16 Code Unit  1st Byte  2nd Byte  3rd Byte
  000000000xxxxxxx  0xxxxxxx
  00000yyyyyxxxxxx  110yyyyy  10xxxxxx
  zzzzyyyyyyxxxxxx  1110zzzz  10yyyyyy  10xxxxxx
After you convert the UTF-16 code to Binary (remember it starts out in Hexadecimal), separate the bytes out, then convert them Decimal.  You then type them as sequences followed by "\".  Ex: \195\145
The latest Unicode charts can be found here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/ Remember that not all codes are supported by the WoW client.
