I did that but it seems that VFP preproccess the characters. They print in the ticket as weird characters. I'd have to print the report using ?/?? commands.

Thanks anyway

Then be very careful with the Print When expression to make sure the field prints only when it should - maybe manipulate a report variable. One way would be to have a variable a copy of the group expression, and print these two characters only when it's still different from the group expression - because you'll set it equal in a call to _vfp.docmd("yourvar=groupexpr") from the group's footer.
