VB does not support Unicode in any version <= 6.0 of any SP.

See Chapter 6 of Internationalization with Visual Basic (available for free
online at http://www.i18nwithvb.com/ ) for more info on the limitations. The
book and the code samples have info on the workarounds (third party
controls, owner draw, etc.).
