Check out draft-ietf-nfsv4-06.txt on your local IETF mirror,
but yes, NFSv4 uses UTF8 for all file names (and owner and
owner_group).
It also defines two per-filesystem attributes:
case_insensitive 16 boolean READ Are filename
comparisons on this
file system case
insensitive?
case_preserving 17 boolean READ Is filename case on
this file system
preserved?
though I am not certain that UTF8 has a well defined concept of case -
there was some discussion about this on nfsv4-wg mailing list a while
back, but I didn't pay very close attention.
