Today, I got below error when I run a chm in Vista.
At first, I think the local file has corrupted. So I had downloaded a new file from Internet. Yeah, new file can open successfully.
Sudden, I had noticed old file and new file have the same size. It means old file hasn’t corrupted I think. Why?
I had run windbg and attached hh.exe.

But Local old file name is Microsoft® Windows® Internals, Fourth Edition Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-Mark-2004.chm in the directory. From here, we know MS converts ® and ™ to native code failed and uses ? replace it. The result is OS finds file Microsoft? Windows? Internals, Fourth Edition Microsoft Windows Server? 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-Mark-2004.chm failed, and popups above dialog.I had downloaded new file name is Microsoft – Microsoft Windows Internals Fourth Edition(2004).chm. So it hasn’t convert character set issue.

MS social MSDN site has people ask this issue too.
I had checked other common modules provided in default Vista. All of them hadn’t developed in Unicode mode.
Compared with develop a new OS it’s easy. But MS hasn’t done it.
What is UE? It’s UE I think.
