If we need to display Middot(\XB7) char in your edit or static control. You need to use ::SetWindowTextW in place of ::SetWindowText. If you are using CString in place of that you need to use CStringW. for example CString strMidDot = "·"; //it will display as a junk char CStringW strwMidDot = L"·"; //it will display correctly while OS language is korean.
