I have recently become a fan of using UNICODE symbols to decorate my fleet and ship names. However, the main window, with events ticked, doesn’t seem to support UNICODE, while the other windows do. Would it be possible to standardise the controls so they all support UNICODE symbols?

The controls are all normal windows controls, so they are already standardized.
Where are you having the problems - on a control or on the tactical map itself?
On the main window (tactical map), with show events toggled, the text that appears at the top there doesn’t display the UNICODE symbols I put in, but the Events Window and other places do display it correctly. So far as I can tell it’s just that one time, I’ll let you know here if I find any others.
The events on the tactical map are drawn on there using GDI+, which is used to display content on the background of the form. That isn’t the same as using text in a Microsoft control. I checked with an AI and it came up with a variety of potential reasons, including the GDI drawing code, the fonts involved, encoding, etc.
I could probably fix it, given enough time and effort, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t be a high priority.
