Grab xterm. Compile with --enable-wide-chars (or something
similar). Run with xterm +u8
(You should have a font with a unicode encoding, iso10646-1.
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html for a Unicode
version of "fixed".)
It doesn't do BiDi, but assuming your key presses generate
the appropriate X keyboard symbols (rather than their
ASCII representation, as for example KDE's keyboard switcher
does), they'll be displayed, multiple encodings, on the same
terminal.

I tried preloading. All existing GTK+ applications failed,
with the same errors, I think. Then, I asked Owen Taylor
and he explicitly told older applications WON'T work.
As I remember, QT 2 too wasn't backward-compatible.

It offers new stuff to those not interested in multilinguality
too. Distros would probably ship with two packages, one for new
version and one for old, just as RedHat did with QT and glibc.
