While testing an application, written with BCB6, prior to its release, I
noticed the degree character (°) does not get displayed properly in a
TLabel on Japanese Windows 98 or Japanese Windows 2000 Pro (I have not
tested XP yet).

Investigating further, I noticed the the degree character displays
correctly if the caption property is set at run time rather than if the
caption is set in the properties window at design time. Also, this
error only occurs on applications written with BCB6. I wrote 3 test
applications, 1 in BCB4, 1 in BCB5 and 1 in BCB6. Each application set
the label caption to the degree symbol in the properties window at
design time. The Charset property was set to DEFAULT_CHARSET on every
application.

Is there a reason why this is happening or is it a known bug in BCB6?

Thanks,
