CG> The character string "20 ug" whose ascii codes are reported
CG> as  50, 48, 32, 117, 103 ends up looking like this "2ø(ug"
CG> (aka two  degrees parenthesis) whose codes are 50, 48, 160,
CG> 40, 103.
I'm trying to understand the details but the above statement doesn't seem 
accurate.  You indicated that the replace string looks like this:
      2      ø     (     u      g
     50     48   160    40    103
The second character and the reported code of 48 do not agree.
