At last - a useable hint! I tried the raw character code with "\uXXXX" and a
little help from Character Map, and it worked! I must admit that I still have
very limited knowledge of UTF8 coding, but I have noticed the 'unicode'
markings in Character Map. I could never have guessed the \u-part by myself.

Thank you very much for this information. You have been very helpful.
