Karl can probably speak more authoritatively on this topic,
but I think this is a can of worms. :-)

I find it impossible to construct a string using unicode
characters for display in a widget. However, if I use the
unicode characters (an accented a, for example) in a string
(I probably used the Windows Character Map application to
grab the right character), then this is *usually* displayed
properly.
Cheers,
David
