How to insert Japanese character to ECC from Excel vba

Question

I can see the Japanese text in the Excel cells. I've got the VBA code to update ECC . It does the INSERT in the ECC , but Japanese characters are simply represented as ???? .

Any help would be appreciated.

You need MS Excel Japanese Language Pack to display Japanese characters.

If you are importing text into Excel, you need to set the following. .TextFilePlatform = 850 http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141269

Sorry, feels like it's been quite a time since the question was raised.
But still I'd like to propose a solution: Using unicode encoding to represent different language: Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = ChrW(&H3091) , which is standing for character ゑ .
