win32 Hello word program - Chinese characters printed

Just out of interest I compiled a simple message box example from a Win32 tutorial. It works, but the message is printed in Chinese when I run it. Can anyone tell me why this could be happening? Is it something to do with Unicode?

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye, cruel world!", "Note", MB_OK);
    return 0;
}

---

Oops...found the solution, the character set was set to Unicode in the configuration properties of Visual C++
