It's not that hard. There are two possibilities. Either the
setTool function does not accept Unicode strings, or the default
tool tip font does not include those extended characters.<br>

Actually, it doesn't. There are no characters in his file beyond
the base ASCII set, except for the one character in a comment, so
the file coding is irrelevant. If this worked for you, then his
original code would have worked for you also. That would imply that
your tooltip uses a different default font. No one here has
mentioned what operating systems they are using; that makes a
difference.<br>
