What was the reason for this change? #if !wxUSE_UNICODE ... if (str.Find('Â') != wxNOT_FOUND) str.Remove(str.Find('Â'), 1); to: if (str.Find('ï¿½') != wxNOT_FOUND) str.Remove(str.Find('ï¿½'), 1); wxFormBuilder turns the (c) symbol into UTF-8 automatically. On wxWidgets-2.8.9 ansi, it shows as a copyright symbol with an extra trash character, which this hack fixes up for the non-unicode (ansi) case.

I didn't change it knowingly, must have been some encoding problem.

Right, I'll change it to this so it doesn't get broken again: if (str.Find('\xC2') != wxNOT_FOUND) str.Remove(str.Find('\xC2'), 1);
