title: declaring a unicode string in vba in excel
body: <p>I am trying to create a substitute() that will convert greek characters to latin.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that after declaring  </p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim Source As String
  Source = "αβγδεζηικλμνξοπρστθφω"  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Source is interpreted as "áâãäåæçéêëìíîïðñóôõöù"<br>
  is there any way use unicode at declaration level?</p>
