Internationalization and localization in Mobile

Internationalization is an important part of any software. Now all the modern software supports multiple languages. Recently I am playing with some language features for bangla. It is great that java has built in support for unicode with \u prefix notation. LWUIT has the support for bitmapped font in its resource editor.

When I use these tools to load font, the Sutonny font rendered nicely. But it doesn't display any unicode character. Some other true type unicode fonts also displayed with box at the preview and failed to display at the emulator. Although it is possible to display any bangla text in mobile without using canvas or custom rendering, I still have to figure out how to display the unicoded text properly. It may open-up localization projects in bangla.
