vtkCaptionActor2D will work.

You'll need to provide a unicode font file (the embedded fonts in VTK only
support ASCII) via the caption actor's GetCaptionTextProperty:

captionActor->GetCaptionTextProperty()->SetFontFamily(VTK_FONT_FILE);
captionActor->GetCaptionTextProperty()->SetFontFile("/path/to/some/unicode/font/file");

and then encode the caption text as UTF-8.

Hope this helps,
Dave
