Is Outlook Contacts unicode compatible?

B

Bruce Gower

I have an Excel spreadsheet containing contact info that I
imported into a Contact folder. The Excel spreadsheet
contains many Eastern European characters. As long as the
spreadsheet font is a unicode font containing all the
characters, they ALL appear in Excel.

When imported into Outlook all EE characters not in code
page 1252 (the standard Windows character set for English)
are changed to their unaccented base character. All fonts
for the various Views are changed to the same EE unicode
font that correctly displayed ALL characters in Excel.

Am I missing something? Is Outlook Contacts unicode
compatible? Or does can it only handle unicode characters
that are in the code page 1252 character set? I am using
Win XP Pro, english version. All these characters appear
correctly in all other unicode enabled programs on my
system. I would think that they should also work in
Outlook, or is it crippled in this regard?
