Yes, you are right, altough I think it would be nice if Emacs could
take advantage of the work that went into libc for low-level non-ASCII
manipulation, and into GNOME (GTK) for high-level non-ASCII display
(e.g., bidirectional text), instead of re-implementing it all just for
Emacs. It doesn't seem very re-usable. Ideally all non-ASCII stuff
should go into the lisp (CLISP or Guile) used, so other applications
than Emacs can take advantage of it. All IMHO, of course.
