I did patch for unicode support inside engine. Diff could be found at 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cuneiform-linux/+bug/262660. It depends on 
iconv and iconv is used in very dirty way (open and close lib on every 
char). I did this only to make a usable prototype of this function.

Bad thing that everything inside engine is still 8bit. But for the 
current stage of porting it`s not a problem, because it`s bad idea to 
make fundamental changes before fixing all the bugs. In the feature it 
should not be a very big task to use UTF16 internally. But it will make 
a sense only in case of supporting DBCS languages or many different 
languages on one page (e.g. russian and polish).
