Why Unicode subscript symbol is not properly displayed in C# Label?

I have a C# Label and I set the text to the String "CO\u2082" (CO2 with the Unicode subscript) .

The label is displayed properly on my PC which runs Windows XP service pack 3, but not displayed properly on a PC with Windows XP service pack2.

m_labelDescCO2 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();  
m_labelDescCO2.Text = "CO\u2082";

The Label font is defined to be Microsoft Sans Serif.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi I found the answer here. Some fonts do not have superscript or subscript support in other operating systems. The "Character Map" program in Windows is a good point to start figuring out.

I also think it's a font problem.

It doesn't work with MS Sans and Verdana, it does work with Arial Unicode MS

It's possible that the font that you've selected doesn't support Unicode subscript characters on XP service pack 2.

Have a look here for some information regarding Unicode support.

I think that you'll have to check for a different font.
