Unicode and Multilingual Editors and Word Processors for Mac OS X
Introduction
Mac OS X 10 did not originally include support for as many languages and scripts as Mac OS 9. Mac OS X 10.1 supported Central European, Cyrillic and Japanese, and Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese were made available as downloads. Mac OS X 10.2 introduced support for Arabic, Devanagari, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew and Thai scripts. Mac OS X 10.3 introduced support for Armenian, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and Cherokee scripts.
The Editors listed below are those that are available in versions designed for Mac OS X; other editors that are designed for Mac OS 9 can be used in Classic mode.
BBEdit
BBEdit is a text editor for OS X 10.3.9 or later that includes extensive support for producing HTML files and program code, as well as plain text files. It can edit text in several left-to-right languages and scripts, including double-byte scripts, and it supports the Mac’s Unicode keyboards. Older versions allowed only one font to be active at a time, and so only one non-Latin script plus unaccented Latin characters could be displayed properly simultaneously, but it can now display multiple scripts simultaneously. It can use any installed Web browser for WYSIWYG preview. Files that contain multiple scripts can be opened and saved with UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding.

HTML tags and attributes can be typed directly, or selected from a floating palette or a menu, and are shown in user-selectable colours. BBEdit includes an HTML syntax checker, and a link checker for links within your site.
It is produced by Bare Bones Software, Inc. and costs US $199.00 plus shipping. A trial copy that can be used for 30 days is available.
jEdit
jEdit is a Unicode text editor that is written in Java and can run under Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. It can be used with any text file, but is intended for editing programming and markup languages, and has syntax colouring for over 60 of these, including HTML and XML. jEdit can open and save files with any encoding that is supported by Java, including UTF-8 and UTF-16. It can use any of the normal Mac OS X keyboards, but not the Unicode Hex Input keyboard.
