There is actually no unicode language kit since unicode is not a language but a coding system that unifies most of the world's languages under one coding system (see www.unicode.org for complete details). In MacOS 9, unicode support is application based [both the recent versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer do a fairly good job of providing Unicode support], so you will have to find an application that supports unicode: word-processing applications like Tex-Edit (http://216.25.53.29/trans-tex/index.htm) and Style will support saving and opening Unicode files. Adobe's GoLive will open/save the UTF-8 (web-safe) version of Unicode web pages. I am not aware of any applications in MacOS 9 for which you can use the "Extended Roman (U)" or "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard layouts, but you can certainly use them in MacOS X. Robert H. Smitheram
