Adobe does not claim that FrameMaker supports Unicode other than for roundtripping XML.
Indeed. People scream and holler about FrameMaker's lack of Unicode support all the time, Heidi, but this isn't as bad as it sounds -- the workaround is fairly straightforward.
The issue you're experiencing is less likely Unicode or not having the fonts on your machine than it is the fact that your paragraph formats in FrameMaker don't specify an Asian font. What you're experiencing is normal/expected/intended behavior for displaying text that the font in FM doesn't support.
I'm assuming you're using the plain-vanilla, English version of FrameMaker. To properly display Asian-language text in FM, you'll need to change the font to one that supports the language you're trying to display. Once you change the font, the text you've pasted should show up correctly (without having to paste it in again).
So, getting FM to *display* Asian text is fairly straightforward. Setting up FM to *edit* Asian-language text, however, is a bit more complicated. Contact me off-list and I'll send you the solution I posted to the list a little while ago.
