    Hi Kei,

    ReportBuilder does not currently support unicode. Please take a look at the
    following article for more information.


    ARTICLE
    -----------

    1. ReportBuilder does not currently contain any support for Unicode. We are
    hopeful that Borland will add Unicode support to the VCL in a future
    release - to make this a manageable task for us.


    2. It is our understanding that Unicode is not required to display a
    language properly. Any language can be displayed properly by configuring the
    Windows regional settings properly. However, if an application needs to
    display multiple languages, then Unicode is required. As an example, below
    is a tip from a customer for configuring a computer for Japanese.


    Note: RB also does not contain any support for Right to Left languages.

    Tech Tip: Configure XP for Japanese
    -------------------------------


    Please try the following steps:

    1. Install MS XP with Japanese support
    2. Change the value of Non Unicode Application setting to Japanese (in
    Advance tab of Control Panel's Countries and Language)
    3. For RB, you can set charset of ppLabel/ppDBEdit to SHIFTJIS_CHARSET or
    DEFAULT_CHARSET (for Multi-Lanugage application).
    4. For Paradox db file, you can set the LANGDRIVER of Paradox (in BDE) to
    Paradox 'japan' or 'ascii' ANSI (for Multi-Lanugage application).

    This method works for me.
