I am trying to use mod_rewrite to create clean url's that contain UTF-8 characters.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [B]
It works for english characters, but when I try with utf-8 characters, I get a not found error.
How should I change my .htaccess file to get the job done?

There is no such thing as utf-8 characters in URL on server side.
All url charcters are percent-encoded. So, add percent sign to your rewrite rule and you will be fine.
