unicodeText problem with Japanese

[Devin Asay]

Nicolas,

I'm not sure what's causing your problems. Could it be related to  
this bug?

Kenji Kojima is the expert in unicode kanji issues. You might try  
contacting him--his email address is in the bug report. He also hangs  
out on the list from time to time. If anyone can help you solve your  
problem Kenji can.
