As Michele's mentions, using a MacRoman creation is the problem.
Currently fn ContainerFindAndReplace ( in Util_Containers.incl ) calls  
the Mac Roman version ( i.e. fn ContainerCreateWithCFString ) to  
create the container from the CFString. Does your new code call the  
new version posted by Michele ( btw: the "new" version is simply a  
copy of fn ContainerCreateWithCFString with the encoding constant  
changed from _kCFStringEncodingMacRoman to _kCFStringEncodingUnicode )?

Please post a working demo showing the code that doesn't work. Seeing  
your code will answer the questions about what is going on here.  
Michele's observation about Mac roman usage being the problem is  
correct, so the code needs to be adjusted accordingly.
