Unicode files

After having read the old thread starting at
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-11/1019.shtml

I can see that support for unicode was requested for the svn diff
functionality. I believe that the conclusion was that it is just a
question of finding a proper diff tool.

However I wonder what is the status for supporting unicode
(UTF-16) with respect to svn *merge* feature?

I do understand that wrt. storage subversion is completely ignorant of
the file content, however subversion is capable of merging (ANSI) text
files and probably also UTF-8 files. But how about UTF-16 ? or other
Unicode encodings.
