Does anyone know why the Characters from Character Map on XP become boxes on WLM display names?
RE: Foreign Characters On Display Name by vaccination on 07-11-2008 at 07:43 AM
Because WLM doesn't support most of those special characters.

Most of my friends WLM can support some of the common speical characters suchas hearts and symbols

I had this problem before...
I think you need to install Chinese and Arabic characters. They should be on the XP installation disc.

where do u see the box?? and u did what they said there? both parts
RE: Foreign Characters On Display Name by neik on 07-13-2008 at 10:16 PM
I see the boxes on my display name during chat, and I see the boxes on my contacts name and on my list, they look like this [] and sometimes the perfect square ones. I can see characters like "Ä,ō etc" on WLM and during chat but I don't know why the korean letters or symbols like the heart become squared.
Yes I have done what they said, Both of them too
