I can't really make any authoritative comments either way, but GNOME
(and GTK underneath it) is fully internationalized. Whenever I enter a
unicode character (with Compose key or gnome-charmap or whatever) into
an Entry I have no problems, either with java-gnome or with asking for
getText() for the java String [which is composed of Characters, which
are multi-byte...]

Jikes has some issues with unicode characters in source code - for
example, I use \u00bb rather than » directly in hard coded Strings so
that Jikes doesn't do stupid things on me.
