Function Not Seeing Special Character In String

[DGCSCAD]

For some reason when I run a function containing this code fragment:

(setq istest (wcmatch str_list3 "*Â*"))

Using this string (str_list3): "TEST®"

...it's coming back NIL, but when I paste that same code fragment to the command line with everything else in place, it returns T.

Everything else around it is working as it should be, so I'm guessing the LISP interpreter uses a different character set than the AutoCAD API for the command line...?

what happens if you precede with `

(wcmatch str_list3 "*`Â*")

try to use unicode notation in (setq istest (wcmatch str_list3 "*\U+00c2*")) for "Â" char.

Still returns NIL.
