Unicode is the character format, not the storage format.

Yes...you can fetch the contents out of a database..the problem your looking
at is called "localisation", something JSP solves...see if Cold Fusion has
support
for Localization, I'm sure it will....
Basically though, you'll have your content in different files/databases for
each
language, and have a property set in your session to state which locale to
use.
