Note, UTF-8 in LaTeX isn't without problems, I had to personally use \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, \usepackage{textcomp} and \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in the file. Yet I still could not use cryllic.
I'm sure quite a few of people may have problems with UTF-8.
Solution: you must first convert it from latin1 (ISO-8859-1) to UTF-8. Sounds weird, but works for me.
