Extra Character when doing File::WriteLine

When the following code is writes to the file I get an extra
character...

outSW->WriteLine(S"BTC Networking\xAE");

I'm wanting to put the "registered trademark" symbol (\xAE) on the end
of the line. It does write to the file, but I get the character \xC2
in front of the \xAE symbol also which I do not want.

Thanks for any help for I'm very new to VC++...John

UTF-8 representation of Unicode codepoint U+00AE happens to consist of
two bytes C2 and AE. This is what you see in your file. Chances are, you
actually want it this way.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
