Mike, For U+0416, you normally do alt/0,4,1,6 . I have already heard of such problems as you describe because of Windows' bad implementation of Unicode at lower levels. That might be sometimes related to interaction with a specific font.
Have you tried switching fonts? You might also have a look at a very convenient utility called PopChar Win, which you can find at <http:// www.macility.com/products/popcharwin/> and which I use without a glitch on Frame 8 / Windows XP (MacBook Pro+VMWare Fusion). Good luck, Amnon.
