PMFJI but if Unicode is a strict requirement for your application, don't waste a lot of time considering VFP. More recent languages like .NET and Delphi, as well as all the major DBMSs, support Unicode right out of the box. There's no sense trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.

VFP still does some things very well. This just isn't one of them.
