If you use the current version of Swing with JDK 1.1, your JTextComponent
will be able to accept nothing but ISO-8859-1. The Input Method Editor for
CJK systems gets shut off.
You'll either have to wait for JDK 1.2 (which, via the IM framework, allows
non-Latin1), or use standard 1.1 widgets.
Note that this is only for _inputting_ Unicode into Java. The current
version of Java does most Latin and CJKV Ideographs in Unicode just fine.
(No BIDI, non-spacing marks, etc., yet)
