I have seen similar problems to what you are seeing when the workstation
you are running is not using English (Japanese for example). What can
happen is that developers at Microsoft use non-standard characters in the
CPP file that look fine on an English workstation, but are represented as
something different when the workstation language is Japanese.

The fix is to use the C escape sequence sequence instead for the character:
For example: TEXT("\x2026")

This is my guess as to what you are seeing.
