Is there a reason you say 'below chr("128")' in your statement?
Wouldn't the following work just as well?

    zz = chr("255")

    if:  zz&"a"&zz&"b"&zz&"c"&zz co zz{aa{zz

Aside from the "less friendly looking" line, the above should work
just as well.

The following should work as well.  (I don't know how well the
characters will survive e-mail.)

    if:  "∙a∙b∙c∙" co "∙"{aa{"∙"
