You're better off sticking with Libreoffice or other "big" word processor for that. Otherwise, Unicode is a real pain and it's not possible to save "plain" text files with it. The interpretation of "plain" text could vary, not necessarily Code Page 437 which is the default on QB64.
On Windows might have to do Win API for "Rich Text", for a GUI control that supports fonts, styles like underlining, colors and Unicode.
Vim might support Unicode on Linux, but saving a text file like that is going to include assumptions. Some terminals support UTF-8 which is one assumption. However, change the code page and the text could be ruined.
One compromise is to write a text editor like Word Perfect v5.1 which could highlight certain characters as Unicode. Then at the request of the user, do a WYSIWYG with Unicode in a graphics screen. Like that "s" with cedilla I see in a few Romanian and Turkish words, or the "double-accented o" in Hungarian. But writing like that is impractical for somebody that wants to use an Asian language with its own writing system.
