My apologies if there is something fundamental I don't understand.
In 4.5.3 I get identical results with
msgbox "alpha" + "å"
and msgbox "alpha" + chr(140)
In RB5 the second msgbox does not show anything. If I only try "msgbox
chr(140)" I see the character. I have not seen any information on how
to handle the new complexity in concatenation (if the above is not a
bug?).
Tell me, please, where I can find information on how to adapt to this
new situation if there are new features I don't understand. Or is it
reasonable to assume that we have to guess and try and fail and try in
order to find out how changes between 4.5 and 5 should be taken care of.
On the other hand I have to admit that I think it is great that RB is
moving in the direction of solid unicode support. I only hope that I
can keep up with the learning code.

I can't understand that. Yes, Replace and ReplaceAll do not work
perfectly with UTF-8, but in 4.5 they did not work with UTF-8 *at
all*. If you need case insensitivity, then simply convert you strings
to something other than UTF-8 -- whatever encoding you used in 4.5
will work just as well in 5.0.
