alt Browser: Get selected text cross platform issue

On my Mac this function works well:
 set the htmltext of fld _selected to XBrowser_Get ("selected")

But on my Windows XP box, unusual characters don't get displayed. (Japanese worked in the demo stack)

Here is one such character: hodiê (the last char should have a circumflex over it)

When the selected text is returned from alt browser, it's "normalized" and the special details (circumflex, etc.) are removed.

Again, this is only an issue with Windows XP. Any thoughts?
