How can I get Unicode characters to display properly for the tooltip for the IMG ALT in IE7?

I've got some Japanese in the ALT attribute, but the tooltip is showing me the ugly block characters in the tooltip. The rest of the content on the page renders correctly. So far, it seems to be limited to the tooltips.

This is because the font used in the tooltip doesn't include the characters you are trying to display. Try installing a font pack that includes those characters. I'm affraid you can't do much for your site's visitors other than implementating a tooltip yourself using javascript.
