Vista - Unicode VBScript messagebox

Can any one please tell me how to make a VBscript messagebox support unicode
characters.
MsgBox("ストケース�部分をテ",vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, title)

The string in Msgbox is displayed as squares in the messagebox

Thanks in advance.

'internationalization' knowledge will jump in here.

I copied your MsgBox statement from my OE6 newsreader window to NotePad and
saved it in a .VBS file as Unicode and another .VBS file as UTF-8. These
two files display the same in Notepad on this US-English WXP-SP3 system.
The text to
be displayed by the message box is displayed as boxes within Notepad.
Notepad's font is set to Lucida Console. The .VBS file saved as Unicode
runs, but the text is in the message box is displayed as boxes. The .VBS
file saved as UTF-8 causes a scripting compilation error: Invalid Character,
because VBScript only understands Ansi 8-bit characters and 16-bit Unicode
characters, not variable bytes per character encodings like UTF-8.

When I boot from an older and wiser WXP-SP2 partition on this same computer,
Notepad
displays the message as Japanese (or some characters foreign to me,
definitely not boxes) text. This partition's Notepad uses the same Lucida
Console font. Running the Unicode script, the message box displays the same
Japanese
text seen within Notepad; I've attached the .png graphic of the message box.
I am assuming that this older partition got wiser by my allowing IE to
download/install some language-related stuff while I
was surfing the net.

Thanks HAL07 ,Paul Randal for your replies..

I have solved my problem. The problem was due to the non availabilty of the
font. After installing the east asian languages in my system. The Unicode
text in the message box is displayed correctly

Thanks for letting us know that your problem is fixed.
I have a question about the fix. Did 'installing the east asian languages'
actually install a new or updated font that includes glyphs you didn't
previously have for that font, or did it update some mysterious language
information that allowed your system to display the correct glyphs for the
Unicode code points in your MsgBox's message?
