Important! Do not use WINDOWS-1252 to edit binary values. WINDOWS-1252 is not able to encode certain binary values. When editing VARA objects that contain binary data, the VARAs value will be modified to a value that can be encoded using WINDOWS-1252.
The values that are not supported are: 0x81, 0x8D, 0x8F, 0x90, 0x9D.
