Absolutely.

It will always depend on the browser you are using. The operating system
is not relevant.

Malarchy: Windows versions before Windows XP could handle non-latin
character sets. Unicode support is part of win32 and should be available
for all versions of win32 including that awful kludge win32s which could
be installed onto Windows 3.1.

MSIE 7+ is not at all required to view utf8. MSIE versions back to 2.0
have supported multi-byte character sets.
