A thread on lambda2 discusses Unicode strings -
http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/view/59

Highlights include:

ICU is a toolkit (C, C++, Java) for adding Unicode support to languages -
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/3.0/press.html - with info on
string handling - http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/strings.html

FriBidi - http://freedesktop.org/Software/FriBidi - is a serparate
implementation of a small part of ICU, for bidirectional text layout.

MG4J is a Java toolkit for managing large document databases with a whole
slew of string-related functionality - http://mg4j.dsi.unimi.it/

Joel has an article I've probably linked to before that gives the
background - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html - and
this from Richard Gillam gives more details -
http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=30893

A document arguing for UTF-16 internally -
