Thanks for reporting, Thomas.
I have added a documentation issue for RFC98.

Dave,
The Noto font aims at resolving this issue: https://www.google.com/get/noto/
Aside from that mapserver supports language specific fonts. This needs
documenting aside from what can be found in the RFC
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-98.html (which has a typo,
use s/LABEL/FONT/)
FONT "arialuni,en:arial,ja:cjk,ar:arabic"
will use a specific font for a given language code. Collecting all the
fonts and mapping them to all the language codes for a worldwide osm db
will be a tiresome job...
cheers,
Thomas

I’ve done a planet load of OSM and when I view countries in the
database using PGADMIN I can see them correctly encoded as per the
image below:-
http://imgbox.com/Z5SJ911X
My Mapfile looks like this:-
CLASS
EXPRESSION 'country'
LABEL
FONT sc
TYPE TRUETYPE
ENCODING "utf-8"
SIZE 8
COLOR 100 100 100
OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1
OUTLINEWIDTH 2
WRAP ' '
MAXLENGTH 8
ALIGN CENTER
BUFFER 4
PARTIALS FALSE
POSITION cc
END
END
Which renders some of the characters but not Ethiopia as shown by
this image

My database server is using UTF8 as the encoding. So Is the problem
with my font?
sc maps to DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
I am guessing some characters are missing or I need to use another font?
