With unicode what? Linux console with Unicode? New file system with
Unicode (like MS's fs)? X program which uses Unicode for its
encoding? I know few Linux programs which use Unicode. And I've
never seen any program which fully implemented iso-10646 (even on
MS-Windows).
It's possible, but now it's not. What we can do now is just using the
best "available" solution.
