Re: Characters not being displayed when language settings are changed.

I believe the circled numbers (and other odds and ends of romaji)
occur only in Japanese fonts, and Unicode and non-Unicode CJK fonts
have quite different codings, so if you've typed them in a Unicode
font, they won't correspond in a non-Unicode font. (Most readers of
this newsgroup probably won't be able to see the two items -- 1 in a
circle and 2 in a circle -- because they haven't activated the
Japanese capabilities in their Windows.)

Hi,
I have been generating a report which contains characters like ① and ②.
These characters were being displayed properly uptill now. But one day it
was viewed on a machine with Language for non Unicode programs set as
Japanese and Word was not able to display these characters.
I tried this on my machine too by going to Regional and Language Settings
and in the Advanced tab setting the Language for non Unicode programs to
Japanese. After restarting my machine I also got the same problem.
This report is being generated programmatically and is viewed by the users
of our application. So, we need a way to display these characters properly
irrespective of the Language settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
