Well settle down there, cowboy. the title bar may have certain restrictions placed in it by Windows. Since the title needs to be used in things like Task Manager, maybe the developers didn't want odd characters present. Now you can display a blank box, as Steve described. Try...
The Windows system simply displays the empty box symbol, instead of the solid diamond character, which is CHR$(4). Now in Task manager, what do we see? We see just FOO.exe. The empty box symbol is ignored. Other windows symbols given to characters that won't show in the title bar are the = sign and the ? mark.
Honestly I don't know for certain that we cannot start a title for the title bar with non-numeric and non-alphabetical Unicode characters, but so far no luck in finding a method to make it so.
