I am by no means an advanced Unicode (or emacs) user, but I've had no problems with UTF-8 in emacs 21. It's easy to convert a file to a different character set, copy-and-paste between buffers with different character sets work, and emacs shouts at me if I try to save a file in a character set that doesn't have mappings for all the characters in the buffer, etc.

The only major annoyance I've found is that double wide Unicode characters, e.g. Kanji, don't always work properly when running emacs in terminal (non-graphical) mode.
