I didn't see it as a trick. I thought that was how we were meant to 
do it. However, I haven't kept up to date on  the unicode progess. I 
need to handle Japanese text in my stacks sometimes, but rarely 
require editing ability.

BTW, I don't know what problems you are having with RU and NO but is 
this the same as Bugzilla #250? On 2.1.2, I don't have the problem 
described there, so perhaps it was fixed.
