Likewise, PyQt supports Unicode. All you have to do is make sure you
feed the widgets Unicode strings, and they'll display anything you
want. I've just finished a small Unicode editor/character picker in
PyQt for which I'm going to write a Chinese IME today. And Kura is
a language database written entirely in Python and Qt which reached
feature-complete stage yesterday... The editor is part of the Kura
