Though I don't develop an editor in my spare time, I had a similar reaction to the "Emacs does Unicode this way, which is correct" solutions. My favorite editor is going to have to get awfully smart.

It isn't. It will need to learn about widechars, which is painful for the editor's developer. (But only if she writes in C: "what do you mean I can't use strncat?!") Other than that, there's probably not that much to it (see the last part of my reply to Josiah). Most editors have access to a reasonable GUI environment these days that will handle the input and the fonts (even if that environment comes via Terminal or uxterm).
