You probably meant "Swing". Swing is a replacement for AWT, but
contrary to AWT, it isn't based on the OS' GUI toolkit, but speaks
directly to the low layer of the graphics (like Xlib in the case
of UNIX). This allows it to support Unicode, even under platforms
without multi-lingual support. You still need fonts.
Swing is a part of JFC which is a part of Java 2.
