If you have Unicode input files, usually the best thing to do is to use XeLaTeX 
or LuaLaTeX to process your files. pdflatex groks a subset of Unicode with the 
inputenc package, but it's only a subset. IME XeLaTeX does a much better job, 
even though it's claimed to be slower. (I never use pdflatex, so I can't really 
compare).

If for some reason you need or want to use pdflatex, then I doubt there's a 
solution.
