It is possible in Gnus. gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist and
gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist handle this issue. But I only
tested it for CN-GB-2312, because there are sites use Chinese
characters as Newsgroups names. I think it could be used for UTF-8.

I'll interpret the future as when Emacsen have a full built-in UTF-8
support.
