The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Double-byte characters appear as question marks when they are displayed in a rich edit control on English Windows NT 4.0.

CAUSE

These fonts are Unicode fonts (that is, Chinese MS Mincho) and the rich edit control is not Unicode-enabled.

RESOLUTION

Use the standard edit control. The standard edit control is Unicode-enabled and it displays double-byte characters correctly.

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
