    Hi

    Does anyone here have advice or links to tutorials that discuss programming applications on unix based operating systems with support for unicode input.

    the program i'm writing will be C/C++ based, run on any system with gcc, support unicode input from the command line.

    or should i avoid this, and write a gui instead?

    Check out the iconv library - http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ - this supports character set conversion for most (all?) character sets.

    If your requirement is that the application handles UTF-16 internally, you could use iconv to convert from the character set in use when the application runs to UTF-16.
