Unless something changed radically in Ottawa, none of Corel's current or 
stripped-off and rebranded products support Unicode.  The only version 
of WordPerfect that ever did was v.8.0J for WIN 98 / W2K which was 
jimmied and reboxed by a Marubeni subsidiary for awhile (and which I 
still use).

The version of SCIM Xandros Desktop 4.1 accepted were at least two years 
out of date.  I dumped Xandros (fully paid version) for Kubuntu over a 
year ago as a result.  I currently run it on both my desktop and laptop.
