You need to install foreign language support. Arial Unicode MS gets
installed when you install Indic (and possibly for others).
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional Options under Windows 2000.

(This may not be available under Windows 98.)

A lot of the Unicode support stuff is stubbed out before the full 32-bit
Windows - and Windows 95/98/ME is a hybrid of 16 and 32. The help file
entries for the various Unicode functions should tell you whether the
function is just a stub (which still allows linking with code that
doesn't actually call Unicode if not on full 32-bit Windows).

Personally, I wouldn't even bother trying to use Unicode functionality
on Windows 98, since Microsoft certainly didn't bother really providing
it.
