In the main branch of picogui, to get unicode you have to create a font with the 
PG_FSTYLE_ENCODING_UNICODE flag, and use a font that has the characters you want. See 
the apps/hello/hello-ja.c demo

In the textbox_branch, it automatically detects UTF-8 text, but you still have to 
specify a font that includes the characters you want. Support for automaticlaly 
searching for characters in other fonts is planned, but not done yet.

I'd like to refactor the font code to have support for this, and better FreeType 
support. There's been no work on this so far though.
