For Slovenian letters čšž (but it should also work for others unicode 
characters) we use converter from one of our contributors at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/forumchars/main.html

While some alphabets (Japanese and Russian come to mind) get converted 
to HTML entities automaticaly, I noticed that Estonian and Slovenian use 
the same word (Tadžikistan), but [[et:Tadžikistan]] works in English 
Wikipedia, while [[sl:Tadžikistan]] does not.  See thread at:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/intlwiki-l/2004-February/002861.html

So converter is the way to go, at least for Slovenian.
