What kind of Unicode?  If the file is UTF-8 text, then set your LANG 
variable appropriately:

env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 vim


My experience (from Chinese) is that vi doesn't care - at least in an 
xterm. If the xterm supports the input method and can display the font, 
vi accepts it (this is on Redhat 7.3, using elvis - I don't like vim, 
it's too 'cute').
