I think the control is working with a specific ANSI code page Scott, and not
the full Unicode character set. This is common for all low-level code that
actually draws/paints on the screen. Hence, the available set of symbols
would be limited by your current locale setting. Have you looked at setting
the RichTextBox.Font.Charset property?
