omega has capable of this for ages (for some value of 32).

enctex (part of tetex-3) also allows utf-8 input.

latex, of course, has utf-8 as an optional input coding, for languages
for which there's a latex output encoding.  (actually, has had for a
long time, with a contributed package.)

is there anything of any substance to know about extex?  the web site
doesn't look any different from what i saw ages back when i first made
an entry for the project in my faq.
