Hmm, I didn't know they had already merged the multi-tty branch into
the trunk.  That is good news.

No, I don't think so.

Just sit tight and wait.  The intention is to merge the
emacs-unicode-2 branch into the trunk as well, but such work is
nontrivial so it might take a while.  And before you ask, predicting
the timing of progress on free software is an essentially impossible
task.  It could happen next week, or it could take another year.
Meanwhile, I am afraid you have to choose whichever is more important
to you:  multi-tty or native unicode.

(I do not have inside information; I just happen to have been looking
at the emacs-devel archives lately.)
