Vi editor with Unicode text

["Chris Harper" <charpersprint earthlink net>]

Hello

Does anyone know if you can use the VI editor to open a file that supports
only Unicode text?  I looked at the man page for VI but did not see anything
that might help.  I am trying to open a *.txt file and it looks like "junk"
when I use VI but if I FTP the file over to another box and use notepad I
can see the text just fine.

Thanks
