You can extend Unicode support with mule-ucs. This is the excerpt
from the output of Help -> Find Extra Packages.
* Mule-UCS: Universal Encoding System:
<URL:ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/Mule-UCS/>
Extended coding systems for Mule, specifically for reading and
writing UTF-8 encoded Unicode. This does more than the built-in
utf-8 coding system, specifically covering a lot of Far Eastern
characters. (See the entry in PROBLEMS concerning slow startup of
Mule-UCS.)

If you are going to use CVS, you may as well try emacs-unicode :-).
