Most search engines can search sites encoded in UTF-8.
That isn't generally the problem. The problem is entering the data to search
for. Most of the search pages aren't encoded in a Unicode encoding, so you can't
enter "just any" Unicode characters to search for...

Thank you for your replies. The answer is
U+7114 seems to be incorrect in the Arial Unicode MS Font.
