I would be surrprized if GTK and WxEuphoria text widgets were not equally capable of lefttoright and unicode already. their wrappers are more complete and more widely used, if user feedback is any indication.
GTK: I have already commented that on paper at least and based on test 117 given by the GTK wrapper author, you should be able to enter utf-8 text in a Label.
Agreed. I tried it and it works.
The methodology recommended by him and I agree there, is to use C/P from a utf-8 word processor.
This is not necessary. I've tested EuGTK (release from Feb 2010) with GTK 2 and with SCIM 1.4.5 on Linux/GNU.
I can't speak for RTL text entry as I don't use any language with it, but entering hanzi and hangul the conventional way works fine with EuGTK.
