wat

I compile the following code in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008:

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI
WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Notes!", MB_OK);
    return 0;
}

And the output is in some crazy moon runes that I don't understand (east-asian characters), rather than the plain "Hello World" I was expecting. What gives?

Oddly, the compiler should catch that particular error, though it does sound like it might be the case.

OP, What is your default system locale set to? (see "Language for non-Unicode programs" in Regional and Language options)
