There is substantial wide character support in the GNU LIBC 2. That will be in Debian 2.0 . There is unicode support in the console driver in the yet-unreleased Linux 2.1 kernel, although it seems to be mapping a 256-glyph code-page to Unicode, it is not making the entire Unicode set available via the console driver. I don't know about X, but of course any serious use of Unicode should be happening within X.
