What do you need specifically?  Currently there isn't much support for Unicode on 
PalmOS.  TwinyPalm has a program called UReader, and a library called UFont SDK that 
does some Unicode text display http://www.twinypalm.com.  From what I saw of it, it 
only displays characters thought, it doesn't do any kind of transformation for 
bidirectionality, combining forms, etc.  It also costs $$$.

I've written a partial Unicode library for text display only, which I've used in a 
Bible-display program.  It handles character display, bidirectionality (a stripped 
down algorithm), shaping Arabic, Syriac, Korean, and Tamil.  It does diacritic 
placement for Hebrew.  It also displays easier scripts fine: Greek, Cyrilic, Chinese, 
Gothic.  http://www.unboundbible.org/unibible

(One drawback is that the rendering engine is somewhat slow.  You can notice the text 
drawing if you have to print a whole page of text.  Another is that there is currently 
no hi-res support.)

Just two days ago I figured out how to create the Unicode library as a GLib shared 
library instead of static.  I've been trying to decide how to set it up as a project 
to release publicly.

Anyways, if it seems like something that might help you, feel free to email me 
privately.
