"This function only deal with ASCII strings. To manipulate UTF-8 
strings, use the String class."

P = String.InStr("Ũ", "ŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåš", gb.Binary)
P = String.InStr("Ũ", "ŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåš", gb.IgnoreCase)
P = String.InStr("Ũ", "ŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåš")
P = String.InStr("Ũ", "xxxxŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåšXXXX", gb.Binary)
P = String.InStr("Ũ", "xxxxŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåšXXXX", gb.IgnoreCase)
P = String.InStr("Ũ", "xxxxŷŶũŨẽẼĩĨòåšXXXX")

same result ... P=0
