Template Toolkit works fine with utf8 templates, so I don't think you
need to encode the template output yourself.  if your template files
contain a BOM at the start then you don't need to do anything, or you
can set the ENCODING option to 'utf8' manually.  See this FAQ entry
for the details.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Template-Toolkit/lib/Template/FAQ.pod#Why_do_I_get_rubbish_for_my_utf-8_templates?

However, I guess you should ensure that any data that you send to TT
is utf8 encoded.
