    // It's best not to use non-usascii literal strings in source code.
    // Instead, use a binary encoded representation of the string.

    // This is the string "44ης Οδός, αρ.2" encoded as quoted-printable.
    // Use Chilkat's online tool to prepare encoded strings: Online Binary Encoder
    // Note: For strings that have very few us-ascii chars, it's better to use base64 encoding instead of quoted-printable.
