Thanks to all for responding!
I am creating deployment descriptors and such on the fly - and using a
writer similar to the following to write them:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(buildBeanFile);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF-16");
PrintWriter ps = new PrintWriter(osw);
So, to confirm, if I set the encoding to UTF-8 and write to a stream as
above with encoding, it will be adequate for eastern languages?

UTF-8 is an encoding for Unicode characters into an 8bit stream. Not all
byte sequences are legal under UTF-8. Simply adding encoding="UTF-8"
doesn't make it UTF-8. You need an editor which is capable of writing
out UTF-8 (I use jEdit for that).
UTF-8, being an 8bit encoding for Unicode, can represent all Unicode
characters so it is fine for Chinese, etc.
