Android supports Unicode characters in UTF-8 encoding - but lacks proper fonts and a complex text rendering system do display many scripts and languages properly.

Android does support Unicode.

Since you seem to be confused about the relationship between UTF-8 and Unicode, I recommend that you save yourself a lot of pain and just read The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets.

If you mean UTF-16 or UTF-8 - Android works with UTF-8
