UTF-8 in docstrings works for me. 

Maybe:
* Its actually not UTF-8
* The console you're using doesn't support UTF-8 well
  (note: I'm on linux, maybe its a problem with windows?)


code >>>
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

def foo():
    """Some ütf-8 docstring ∑ g⊙f (x)"""
    return False
<<<EOF


>>> help(test)
Help on module test:

NAME
    test - # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

FILE
    /tmp/test.py

FUNCTIONS
    foo()
        Some ütf-8 docstring ∑ g⊙f (x)
