Hi; I've been looking (texts, help, forums, the net) for something I assume is simple, but I can't find the "magic formula". I would like to display any old Unicode character in a CRichEditCtrl. The language I support (Pali) uses Unicode characters over a very wide range in Unicode. My MS Word 97 can display the characters (using Insert Character). I can use the Unicode characters in my code, but I can't get them to display properly in the edit control (I get the default symbol). My font is "Arial Unicode MS". Does anyone have a skeleton 1-2-3 for this? BTW: a useful Unicode tool Unibook 3.0 is a free download at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/onlinedat/resources.html Thanks and peace from Andy http://members.home.net/j-andrew-shaw/
