write and use your own utf-8 aware modifier, like this one:

<?php

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize($string, $uc_digits = false)
{
    return preg_replace_callback('!\b\w+\b!u', 'smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst', $string);
}

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst($string)
{
    return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($string[0], 0, 1)) . mb_substr($string[0], 1);
}

?>
