'  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.
s = "44=CE=B7=CF=82 =CE=9F=CE=B4=CF=8C=CF=82, =CE=B1=CF=81.2"
set sb = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sb.AppendEncoded(s,"quoted-printable")

'  For programming languages where strings are exposed bytes, you can tell Chilkat globally
'  to give you the utf-8 byte representation.
'  For programming languages where strings are opaque objects, such as C#, it doesn't matter.
