AnsiChar.  We had to add a lossy conversion to $20 to preserve the
appearance, if not the semantics, of it.  There was a thread on the
Mac-pascal mailing list a few months back about it.

As Michael wrote the locale specific constants will become UnicodeChar (2
Byte UTF-16) thus the U+00A0 will fit nicely there. The only problems would
arise if such a constant would need to be composed of multiple UnicodeChars
(codepoints?).
