My modification is very simple - hard part is finding/importing good
quality korean font - I only did create UnicodeEnvironment (subclass
of LanguageEnvironment) because all other subclasses of
LanguageEnvironment uses different charset from Unicode. And I
configured squeak to use UnicodeEnvironment instead of default
Latin1Environment.

I totally agree on this.
PS)
I've encountered new problem. If file name is UTF-8 encoded Korean, I
can only see ????.txt instead of 한글.txt in squeak. (FileDirectory
class) I think this is related to VM part but not sure.
Hope this can help you.
