Yes, UNICODE has been available for quite some time. However, using Polish as a direct character and language set has been supported for even longer. For more details, read the Globalization manual for the version you want to install. The manuals are all available at http://docs.oracle.com
Due to the age and [pending] desupport of the older versions and excellent backward compatibility of the newer versions, you are encouraged to install only Oracle9i Release 2 and Oracle 10g.
Since the term Globalization has been changing, I refer you to the documentation for each version as follows:
For Oracle Server 7: "Oracle Server Reference" in the Oracle7 Server section at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A57673_01/index.htm
For Oracle8: Chapter 4 of the "Oracle Reference manual" at in the "Oracle
Server" section at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A64702_01/doc/index.htm
For Oracle8i: "Oracle8i National Language Support Guide" in the "Oracle
Server and SQLPlus" section at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/index.htm
For Oracle9i: "Globalization Support Guide" at http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.docindex?remark=homepage
For Oracle 10g: "Globalization Support Guide" at http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/portal.portal_demo3?selected=1
