I've had to deal with this recently. There is some Unicode support (UTF8)
in PalmOS >= 4.0. Check out PalmLocale.h in the SDK to see what other
encodings are supported in the OS itself (as opposed to what the device
supports).
(But do read through the presentations and the SDK documentation - lots of
stuff, especially in the Text Manager section of the API docs and Chapter
11 in the Palm OS Companion ("Localized Applications") - good starting points.)
