I never noticed an trouble until today. I'm able to type in Korean and I've installed the East Asian language pack under the language settings on the control panel. However, I tried to use a Korean computer program today for my cell phone and all of the Korean letters were question marks. Also, I wrote a PM in Korean last night on MySpace and the person that received it got nothing but question marks.

Does anyone have a suggestion to help me out? It's really bizarre to me, as I've typed Korean before, on Mithridates's site, for example, and had no problems. But now, I get this strange glitch. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Qinella~

Try setting your preferred language to Korean. That's what I did and now Korean programs show hangeul instead of question marks and other garbage. I forget where to do but it's got to be somewhere in the language settings.

As for Myspace though, not every website accepts Korean input. Friendster doesn't for instance (very annoyingly).

Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced Tab -> Language for Non-Unicode Programs.. set that to Korean.
