Can't display special characters in Win XP


For example, try pasting any of these characters into notepad:

【ふつう】

「ドカぐい」


also, this shadowed box looks like a regular square:

These all work fine in notepad in Windows 7.


Does anyone know how to get these to work in Windows XP? Thanks!

I'm surprised they show in W7's version of Notepad because I've always seen Notepad as a simple text editor and wouldn't have expected to see anything out of the ordinary in there. In XP, try pasting into Wordpad instead. If that doesn't work, go to Control Panel>Regional and Language and check the Unicode matches your chosen language under the Advanced tab.
