The encoding is unicode, a good way to do it is to put an L in front of your string, for example L"Hello World" instead of "Hello World"

The L makes the string unicode.

my code is

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Text = L" some text here ";
}

Clegs, where did you get the information that the encoding is Unicode? At least on WM2003se (x50v) my encoding seems to be (for Hebrew) cp1255, which is logical as that is a Microsoft encoding.

oh, you're doing it in .net, I thought you were talking about a native c++ project.

For dot net just use this.Text = "Hello world"

oh, maybe that is your code, but for English everything is in unicode (I write my strings for my programs in unicode and it works just fine). If it is not unicode then it is something VERY close.

But when programming in dot net you don't have to worry about character encoding for strings, it does that for you.

Normaly WM5/.net can work with Unicode (utf-8). So there isn't the problem. Is it possible, that the emulator can't get the foreign font?
As you dev with .net, you can look up the MS-pages for "culture".

I believe the emulator is only in English. I'm unsure as to how you get foreign character sets loaded in it either.
