Unicode data in VFP cannot be inputed using standard VFP controls.

However you can utilize some ActiveX controls.
Note that you cannot have ActiveX controls in standard VFP grid (They do not populate the grid properly even with Sparse=.F.)
I have not yet found a way for using OLEBound control in grid for entering Unicode data.
Also you should keep in mind that STRCONV VFP function does not handle all character sets defined in UNICODE, so that additional programing is needed to store the UNICODE data in binary format and to redisplay it in controls when readed from table fields.
If you are interested in and can reconcile yourself to not having grids with unicode data, we can send you demostration form in which you can even mix for example simplified chineese with greek and cyrillic letters. However we have not tested keyboard entering of syllabic and hieroglyph symbols (chineese text was pasted from a source document). This is because we do not have proper Input Method Editors (IMEs).
