You should really understand, that Unicode is a domain per
se. It is independent from any os's, programming languages
or applications. It is up to these tools to be "unicode"
compliant.

Working in a full unicode mode (at least for texts) is
today practically a solved problem. But you have to ensure
the whole toolchain is unicode compliant (editors,
fonts (OpenType technology), rendering devices, ...).

Tip. This list is certainly not the best place to grab
informations. I suggest you start by getting informations
about XeTeX. XeTeX is the "new" TeX engine working only
in a unicode mode. From this starting point, you will
fall on plenty web sites speaking about the "unicode
world", tools, fonts, ...

A variant is to visit sites speaking about *typography*.
