Show symbols in a Win32 application

I would like to display a "sigma" symbol in my Win32 application built with
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. I found the corresponding UNICODE number is 03C3,
which was equal to 963 in decimal, then put it to the following codes.
However, the "sigma" symbol was not displayed correctly.

I was  since I used the same code in a PPC2003 application built
with eMmbedded Visual C++ 4.0, and the "sigma" symbol was displayed
correctly. Could anybody please explain it to me?

Thanks in advance.

John


//Show symbols  For Test Purpose Only
CString strSymbol = "1 ";
int nSigma = 963; //Unicode for sigma
strSymbol += TCHAR(nSigma);
m_Combo6.DeleteString (0);
m_Combo6.InsertString (0, strSymbol);

I suspect that the font that you are using doesn't include the sigma.

Or you forgot to build a UNICODE enabled build of the application. Windows
CE apps always have UNICODE set.

You are right, Steve, I forgot to force the UNICODE build since I thought
Win2K is based on UNICODE in default.

The following 3 steps solved my problem.

1)  Under the project settings, under the 'C/C++' tab, for 'Preprocessor
definitions',
add "UNICODE,_UNICODE" and remove "_MBCS".



2) Under the project settings, under the 'Link' tab, category 'output', set
the 'Entry-point symbol' to 'wWinMainCRTStartup'.


3) Use the UNICODE equivalents to replace some functions.
