I think that one might argue that this is compiler
dependent. I think I have read that GtkAda 2 should include
routines for this, but you could try to implement it
yourself. If I should do it, I would look into how I can
write a "binary" stream of octets to a file, and then write
routines that map String and Wide_String to one or more
octets according to the UTF-8 specification.

This is from GNAT reference manual


Wide_Text_IO

Wide_Text_IO is similar in most respects to Text_IO, except
that both input and output files may contain special sequences
that represent wide character values. The encoding scheme for
a given file may be specified using a FORM parameter:

WCEM=x

as part of the FORM string (WCEM = wide character encoding
method), where x is one of the following characters
