This is for downward compatibility with older programs not supporting Unicode. Every Windows distribution has this option, in Win7 it's in Control Panel→Region and Language→Administration→Language for Non-Unicode programs. It by default the corresponding code page for your OS language. Unicode programs use UTF-16 and non-unicode ones use CP936. Windows does the translation for API calls.I list this out because I have experienced language encoding issues with programs originally in English, notably with commandline applications like Perl. Windows is notorious for having Unicode bugs in its commandline interface.

Thanks for pointing out this difference. I agree with your opinion that LO conforms to Unicode Standard.But the problem remains that LO could not display a glyph though the right font has been set. This is not a single case. Actually all glyphs not exposed in the Special Characters dialog for a certain font cannot be displayed, despite that the font supports them. You can test this using FreeSerif, Code2002 and Segoe UI Symbol. Peter Maunder wrote > When I type Ogham, which is very seldom, I just enter the Unicode directly > (I am using Ubuntu) using the keys.

Windows has a limited support for direct Unicode input for code points <=U+FFFF. ----- "雷聲 靐䨻": if you can see four Chinese characters instead of blobs or question marks than your browser/OS has a good support for Unicode and CJK characters!
