Does OS X uses UTF-8 for filenames by default?

What about iTunes? Does it uses UTF-8 by default?

I have a few French Albums in iTunes and when I tried to import them into a svn repository today it has 'problem' converting French names to UTF-8 encoding??? What's going on here???

Maybe it doesn't recognize some of the more intricate (non-english) characters and accents?

Well the error says can't convert from native locale to UTF-8, so I wonder what the native locale is.
