Rendering unicode characters correctly on textbox

I am working on a translation application in which users are allowed to give English input and I need to convert to a target language and display on a text box. 开发者_如何学GoI am facing problems in displaying unicode characters.

Complex characters are not rendering correctly. I know windows uses Uniscribe for rendering complex characters. So do I need to use that explicitly to get the correct rendering? What is the equivalent of Uniscribe in LINUX and MAC?

I am using C++ with wxWidgets framework and trying to display unicode characters on a text box. Any help would be great!

Considering that Uniscribe support in wxWidgets was merely a Google Summer of code idea this year, it seems unlikely that it's working today.

There's no trivial Linux or Mac equivalent for Uniscribe

Read up on Pango. It's the library that supports full OpenType rendering on Linux. Mac's another story.
