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.

The high ascii concatenation problem and the replace and replaceall bugs makes Rb5 useless for me working with scandinavian and cyrillic character sets.

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.

Best,
