This problem occurs even if you have installed the matching keyboard language support and you have switched to this language in Internet Explorer. This problem can occur with any language that contains Unicode characters.

Note that this problem does not occur with Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me).
