Unicode encoding question

[Jeethu Rao]

I'm writing a chat server in Python, I thought
It'd be a good idea to have all the text messages
in Unicode to support internationalization, But 
I'm not quite sure about the encoding to use.

I've perused through the Python Unicode Tutorial
And quite a few documents on the web. But I could'nt
Quite get a definitive answer.

I guess UTF-8 is the right one.

Thanks,
