nothing yet and the next version of director will take some time...

none, developers have been asking for unicode support for a long
time, so far without success, they're afraid to touch the text engine :-(

like gregoire said, use a flash object, but that helps only for displaying 
text.

that wouldn't help much, you'd have to get the text into director
at some point. it might work with already existing xml files, but
not for user input.
