That depends on your platform or how you look at it:

For msWindows based vnc: vnc just replicates the display, pixel by pixel.

For unix (and linux and such) xvnc (the binary for the vncserver) is an 
X11 server following the X11 specifications (including leaving most 
optional stuff out).

As it is for the configuration files, start using plain ascii (7 bits) 
or the one default on your machine.
