There is no unicode plugin for Windows 98 or ME.

The Microsoft Layer for Unicode is available, however. This constitutes a single .DLL file named UNICOWS.DLL which must be copied to the directory ("folder") containing the .exe program that needs it. It does not need installing, and does not add any entries to the Windows registry.

This .DLL cannot be used on a system-wide basis, so there is no point copying it to the C:\WINDOWS directory or any other location in your DOS path.

It provides some unicode functions, but only for .exe files in the same directory as itself. It is intentionally designed NOT to function as a plugin for Windows, because it interferes with (and will crash) many programs which run under Windows 9x but cannot cope with unicode.

The Kernel extender (KernelEx) is a replacement for the Windows ME system file Kernel32.dll and enables Windows to install and run NTx-only & XP-only applications and games.

It can be downloaded from the KernelEx homepage:
