Bug: Unable to save special characters in macro

I would like to report a bug.

I need to use "▲" and "▼" in the macro.

Example of my case:

If engTransString.State(pslStateTranslated) Then
	dstTransString.Text = "▲" + engTransString.Text
Else
	dstTransString.Text = "▼" + dstTransString.Text
End If

The macro works well.

But anytime I save the macro and load it next time these special character are replaced by "?" character.

If engTransString.State(pslStateTranslated) Then
	dstTransString.Text = "?" + engTransString.Text
Else
	dstTransString.Text = "?" + dstTransString.Text
End If

Thanks for the answer.

This workaround does't work very well.

If engTransString.State(pslStateTranslated) Then dstTransString.Text = Chr(30) + engTransString.Text Else dstTransString.Text = Chr(31) + dstTransString.Text End If

Result texts displays as:

<RS>Text1

<US>Text2

Instead of:

▲Text1

▼Text2

Thanks, this works.

Still would be more user friendly if macro editor would support unicode characters.
