Encodings are confusing. My RB 4.5.3 app includes some copyright strings, such as (c) 2005 (where the (c) is the copyright symbol). I find that if I'm running this app under Windows XP, and the user has selected Chinese-PRC as the "Language for non unicode programs", then text fields which display this text no longer look right, i.e.
  Copyright ©2005
comes out as
  Copyright ?005

Upgrade to RB 2006, which uses all-Unicode strings. (Of course, try the demo first to make sure it works; but it should.)

You guys with your "upgrade to RB X" comments. Grr. :) I'm trying to do a small maintenance / bugfix release of a product currently in 4.5.3, and just wanted to do some quick cleanups. RB2006 will come later, rest assured.

But today, I'm stuck in 4.5.3. So, to repeat the question, is there a quick & dirty way to hack this so that text looks right under double-byte char systems in a RB 4.5.3 app?
