Sorry if this is a duplicate, the first one didn't seem to work.

\015 is an octal contant for CR.

In a .c file I use \xA9 in a string for the copyright mark, try
this, or it's octal equivalent \251 (the leading 0 *might* be
required, I don't know if the .rc file is parsed exactly like
c, if \251 doesn't work, try \0251 or \169).
