I am NOT an expert in Encoding stds, So kindly read the following
links, here the problems with Unicode and normal 8 bit encodings are
discussed :

http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/ind_fonts.html
http://www.tenet.res.in/Donlab/Indlinux/index.html

Comments are Welcome.

I am NOT talking about any "Proprietary Encoding". Here some people
are having this type Indic 16 bit encoding idea.

After spending more then one month of time with xlib, I found that the
XCursor is Mouse Cursor :). So I am NOT mixing up TEXT Cursor with
mouse cursor. It may happened due my bad English :)

Apart from this, 

1. I want have clear idea about "How the TEXT CURSOR is handled by the
   base text widget ( like qtextedit ) OR in KOffice ?

2. How to use 16 Bit/Unicode encoding in NORMAL C program (wchar_t) ?

Is it correct place to discuss this above things ? If NOT, Plz direct
me to the right list.

Thanks,
