Windows Live Messenger 2009 unicodes

I think Windows Live Messenger has some downgrade in this. I remembered when I am using Windows Live Messenger 2008 (I just switched to WLM 2009 yesterday), I can type almost all unicodes as well as some Chinese or Thai characters. Now, when I type most of it, it appears like a block. This is an example when I type my name :

Not great eh? Now, what can I do to make it supports most of unicodes? Please help me, thank you.

Re: Windows Live Messenger 2009 unicodes

Greetings,

Out of curiosity, what input mechanism are you using to type the unicode characters? Are you
switching keyboard layouts, typing in the hex codes manually or just copy/pasting?

Although hardly proving much, I took the text of Google.co.th and pasted it in a message
without any problem here. Does that at least work for you? For reference for your own
testing, I'm using the Trebuchet MS font and Vista.

I copy and paste the unicodes that I found somewhere. That bracket that looks like [ and ] I got it from some Chinese site. I personally do not know how to type them.
