Hello! Similar problem was raised by me several months ago and the authoritative answer of one of MSFT WiX developers was that utf-8 is supported by windows installer database and can be used to support multiple cultures but the feature is not documented. Unfortunately as far as I remember no specific information on utf-8 usage was provided and it means utf-8 support is still far from being fully discussed and surely not documented at all.
Pls search the archives to find relevant thread which was started by me.

Such as utf-8 (65001)? Unfortunately, not. No Unicode in any shape or form. You're limited to the existing set of codepages (as listed in the MSDN). If the language you want to localize into is not covered by any of those codepages, you're out of luck.
