I realize that most readers here are interested in Windows support, but
FYI, Apple's Macintosh Runtime for Java 2.0 will both input and display
(including TextArea) any Unicode characters that the host supports,
including the localized system itself plus any installed language kits.
These kits currently support Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cyrillic, Arabic,
Hebrew, Devanagari, Gujarati, and Gurmukhi.
