Unicode, possible or impossible?

[RealCat]

I was just trying to simply display a MessageBox in Japanese in
Microsoft Outlook 2007 Visual Basic Editor.
msgbox "$B$3$s$K$A$O(B" (Japanese phrase for Hello)
but it became
msgbox "??????"
as I type.

So, typing in Unicode (Asian chatracters) is impossible in VBA? I
don't want a solution, I just want to know if it is possible or not in
order not to spend my time trying to do something impossible.

Thank you.

Maybe a UserFrom rather tahn a MsgBox.....See Ogilvy's code in:

Had a similar problem with greek.

The problem occurs because most computers are never set up properly and they
think they reside in the US. In the regional setting of the user they need to
have selected the asian fonts in the Advanced language options (or greek in
my case) however I have not sussed out how to do directly it from the vba
coding side. If you find out let me know too.
