As usual, it's all explained in detail in the book, chapter 8 and 9. You are

All that Java supports and others that you can invent. Those are byte 
representations of Unicode. In the end you'll have a Java String.

All the glyphs are supported if you have a font with them. There's a shaper 
for Arabic and support for RTL writing.

That question doesn't make sense in Java where everything is Unicode.
