Need more info about the environment of your program.
Unicode involves at least 2 things:
Encoding: UTF8 is used by Linux.
Character Set: Linux is being standardised on ISO10646-1
Linux understands Unicode at the kernel level and very few applications
understand Unicode yet. The latest patch to XTerm can handle it. The kernel
uses wchar_t (wide char) to handle this data type so if your program runs in
Xterm or the console then it should be able to handle Unicode strings.
