Hi,
I have been generating a report which contains characters like ‘* and ‘¡.
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.
