=== Unicode and BiDi support for GUI ===
Technical contacts: [[User:Sev|sev]]
Difficulty: Easy. It will take up to 2 weeks to implement. C++ knowledge required.
ScummVM GUI is based on char size strings, so we have to rely on code pages. With this task, you would need to switch our GUI to usage of Common::U32String, thus making it Unicode-friendly.
Along the way, we would need support for right-to-left languages, and basically flip the widgets horizontally.
