Many, many thanks to you, Kevin, and Joe. It is always a relief to
notice that my ignorance does not lead to rejection. Now I have a lot
to do in order to feel sure with encodings.
I used to do (ever since my Hypercard days) things like:
str = "The Russian character " + chstj + " sounds like the beginning
sound of 'shit' using East London dialect."
with a method chstj returning chr(173) as string. With a very old
hacked font named Kharkov I could use low ASCII showing latin and high
ASCII showing cyrillic.
Now I have to (and want to) unlearn all that and start with the
fundamentals, so that both theory and implementation are based on state
of the art implementations and principles. I would still be grateful if
someone can point me in the direction of articles and books where I
could learn more about encodings and all the rest of it.

In 4.5.3 I get identical results with

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?).
