Richard,
The short answer is No.
VFP can store Unicode characters in a table, but it has no native way of rendering them on a form or report. You need to use a third-party control to display the text, and a third-party reporting tool to report it.
The STRCONV() function that Wgcs mentioned is good for manipulatng the separate bytes in a Unicode or DBCS character string, but does not solve the problem of displaying the characters.
