    Okay, that explains it.  But playing the devils advocate a bit, does 
    this
    not simply point out a problem with Emacs, not GTK?

It would not be a "problem" if GTK handed this better.

Indeed, people want to make Emacs use Unicode.  There are benefits to
be had.  And Handa is working on it--though it won't be done soon.
But it is unfair to say that not being based on Unicode is a
"problem".
