Using xerces with Unicode

Hello
   Can i use the normal xerces library when I am dealing with Unicode
strings . Or does this require the xerces to be 
built with a different option. I am havinf problems with data being sent in
UTF 8 . The parser does not seem to be returning
the correct UCS -2  string when I do a getNodeValue() for a text Node when
dealing with  unicode characters ( such as Japaneese, Russian )

Thanks for any help / suggestions
