A Unicode output plugin will be available on SignPuddle.com shortly.

A Unicode input plugin is easy enough to write if you review the 
SignWriting Icon Client code.

Unicode is a bit temperamental, especially in JavaScript.  Instead of 
searching for single characters (UTF-32), we have to use character pairs 
(UTF-16).

In SWIC file "msw.js", the function cswText has the UTF-16 regular 
expression required.  Unicode can be converted to Formal SignWriting 
with the function csw2bsw followed by the function bsw2fsw.
