I didn't get you. By default Yahoo doesn't let you use UTF-8 encoding. So if
I send you or a mil to yahoo groups, written in Indic language, you have to
change the encoding of your browser to UTF-8 manually. Also if you use Yahoo
Mail as your mail editor, I have to change character encoding to UTF-8 to
read your texts.

Did you check Yahoo's new webmail (inspired by Google)? That supports UTF-8
by default.

According to http://www.unicode.org/consortium/memblogo.html Yahoo! seems to
be a member of UTC. I'm afraid there is anyone from Yahoo in this list.
