I have a Unicode library that I have been working on for a while. You can see 
an older version of it at work if you download the UniBible application 
(www.unboundbible.org/unibible). I helped a guy who wrote an application called 
UniReader that handled generic text in Unicode, but the site it was at doesn't 
seem to have it anymore.

Anyways, I am in the middle of working on a new version of the library 
(Unicode-GLib). Part of what I want to create with this version is API 
documentation.  Right now, I just have the beginnings of some documentation for 
creating Fonts.  Once I'm done with this release, you could download it and use 
it for your display functionality.  However it doesn't have any text input 
functions right now.  That was something I hoped to do someday, but I haven't 
gotten there yet.

It handles bidirectional text to some extent (right-to-left text as well as 
left-to-right) so Hebrew and Arabic can show up OK.

Some languages need special coding in order to work right.  Right now, the ones 
with special coding are Hebrew, Arabic script languages, Tamil, Thai, and 
Korean.  It supports other languages like Latin script languages, Cyrillic 
script, Greek script, Chinese, etc. fairly well without additional code.  Some 
languages will need to have additional code written for them before they will 
work (e.g. most Indian languages).

You can write to me if you want more info.
