Yep, I had exactly the same problem, though I was using the Einhugur
plugin. Jon's code should work, but I had problems sticking with just
the DefineEncoding, so I ended up using ConvertEncoding which did the
trick.

I am trying to get the name of the user that is logged in in

message box, only the text before the unexpected character is
displayed. Could this be an encoding problem? How do I fix this?
Yes. It sounds like the data is being returned as UTF-16, but the
encoding is set incorrectly.
Try this:
dim s as String = DefineEncoding( whateverTheFunctionCallIs(),
Encodings.UTF16 )
Of course, if this is the problem, be sure to email
<aaron at aaronballman dot com> which function(s) isn't/aren't behaving
correctly.
HTH,
