Is your project being build in UNICODE?

No

Your project must be built using UNICODE to support Japanese.

Can you show your code using the CFileDialog?
Also, verify you're using wide-characters. (you should see WCHAR, LPWSTR, std::wstring, etc...) If you're using TCHAR or LPTSTR, then verify your code is being compiled for unicode and has the UNICODE #define set.

CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, "JPEG Files (*.jpeg, *.jpg)|*.jpeg; *.jpg||", NULL );
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_WAIT));
FileName = dlg.GetPathName();
Standard_CString aFileName = (Standard_CString)(LPCTSTRFileName;
}

What is a "Standard_CString"? Can't you just use a CString?
All that casting should be unnecessary. Just say "CString aFileName = dlg.GetPathName();"

Verify that in your project properties you have set UNICODE character set and not MULTIBYTE.

Solution 1

CString FileName;
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, _T("JPEG Files (*.jpeg, *.jpg)|*.jpeg; *.jpg||"), NULL );
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
    SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_WAIT));
    FileName = dlg.GetPathName();
    //Standard_CString aFileName = (Standard_CString)(LPCTSTR FileName);
}
