Learned NOT to use certain characters in string literals (in particular anything with ASCII value of 128~255). Such characters are used for encoding characters in double-byte character systems used in some East Asian locales (in particular Chinee, Japanese, and Korean). A program with these would work OK in English and various other Western European locales, but will trigger all sorts of runtime errors when running in East Asian locales (due to the double-byte character encodings). The problem would *not* occur if you'd constructed the string by concatenating with CHR() with values in the 128~255 range.
