Does your Windows installation use a Unicode-capable font to render
menus? You can check this by right-clicking on the Windows desktop, then
choose "Properties" in the appearing context menu, and then go to the
tab "Appearance". On my system the font Tahoma is selected for menu
texts and I can see the character 2195 when used in a menu.

I don't know of any convenient way to comment out entire stretches of
string mappings. Usually, I resort to prefixing each line I want to
comment out with some random "comment character".
