The big question is: Where do you get a font with a "pouting cat face?"
Never mind, I didn’t have symbola, installed on this computer.

What are you using to type? I see you have U+2010 HYPHEN instead of the ASCII hyphin-minus character.

I find wide strings to be a pain in C++/Windows. I suppose it was a good idea at the time of development of NT 3, since UTF-8 was a footnote and not the force for good as we understand it today. Still, at some point they could have made the "code page" for UTF-8 (which is defined) work correctly for the 8-bit char API functions. For all I know it should: it just wraps the native calls around a call to convert, and the convert function handles that one, right?
