Pages is unicode. It can import, export and work with unicode no problem.
An issue it does have, and seems to be right in line with your problem,
someone was working with a Pages documents that was full of mathematical
formuli and these all came out mac roman; which was then a problem when it
was sent outside the Mac garden. The suggested reason was that maybe
someone had imported these (copied and pasted) from another Mac program and
this was not a unicode program but was handled by Pages because it's
bilingual.
This makes very good sense indeed.
I have a large number of documents I wrote in Clarisworks/Appleworks in
1992-6 on Macs
running Mac OS 7 - 8.6 in Bulgarian using svseral of those Mac ttf fonts
ending in CYR or BG.
Obviously they do not adhere to the Unicode standard.
They can be opened in a readable format by Pages.
Yesterday I hooked up my SCSI ZIP drive via a fairly outrageous
spaghetti of cables to a USB port
and imported a document written in 1995 into Pages; no probs there. When
I exported it to .doc format and opened
it with Libre Office on Linux I got something that was totally unreadable.
I typed some Bulgarian directly into Pages and exported that as a .doc
thing, and opened it with Libre Office with no probs
at all.
Kay C Lan has, successfully, stated what I spent most of the night
trying to understand.

So if YOU create the Pages document, and you make sure everything you put
into it is unicode, then other unicode compatible programs will see the
characters correctly.
