If you're asking if I'm going to replace the Ctrl-A character escape sequences (\1) in the text.dat file, the answer is: I have no reason or plan to do that.

Well you replaced it in the .src and .js files so just thought text.dat as well.

I replaced literal Ctrl-A characters in the .src files with "\1" (the escape sequence) so that those files could be edited with any-old text editor with any
problems. Literal Ctrl-A characters have not been used in the text.dat file since 2013.

I replaced the "\1" escape sequence in (many) JavaScript modules because that escape notation (technically, an octal number) is deprecated in JavaScript and generates errors when "strict mode" is enabled. So I replace "\1" with "\x01" as I see them (or
enable "strict mode") when editing existing .js files.
