It certainly does, here.  My locale is set to use UTF-8, I use vim to
edit my HTML pages, and the files have always been UTF-8 encoded.

My webserver has HTTP headers set to say my pages are UTF-8 encoded by
default.  I don't bother with jamming in a HTML META statement about the
encoding, it's completely redundant in my case.

Occasionally I have to incorporate text from some other source that
that's not UTF-8.  I convert them beforehand, if necessary.
