Thanks for the suggestions. The final answer seems to be StarOffice
Draw/OpenOffice Draw which was able to handle most of the Unicode
characters I threw at it. (It did choke on the CJK unified ideographs
though.) The user interface is quite poor compared to more polished
tools like Illustratorm, but it was adequate for my simple needs.
The Microsoft Office Draw tool was also suggested, and it could
handle the Unicode characters. However, it proved, as always, to be
way too underpowered, even for my simple needs. It simply cannot
handle documents containing more than a few overlapping shapes with
anything approaching an adequate degree of facility.
