In config.yml

View::TT
    ENCODING: UTF-8

Template provider will see you are running a modern Perl (UNICODE flag
in provider) and then look for a Byte Order Mark.  If not found it
will then decode your content based on the ENCODING setting.

No, you don't need Template::Provider::Encoding if you only have one
encoding in your templates.

Yes you need Unicode (or the older Unicode::Encoding) plugin so that
input params are decoded and output is encoded back to utf8.
