Unicode support in Slicer is limited. It is supported at Python and Qt level, so it is possible to display Unicode characters to the users.

See these pages for details:

- [Slicer Internationalization](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/slicer-internationalization/579)
- [https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW30\_2019\_GranCanaria/Projects/UltrasoundSimulatorTraining/](https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW30_2019_GranCanaria/Projects/UltrasoundSimulatorTraining/) (see “Background and references” section for source code of a multi-language module)

We have plan to work on improving the support for i18n during the upcoming [project week in Boston](https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW31_2019_Boston/#infrastructure), that said if you can allocate some resources to support this work I suggest you look at the [commercial partners](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/CommercialUse#Commercial_Partners).
