Being encoded as plain US-ASCII, this string is entirely illegal considering the limited implementation of EUC-CN by xfhsm_oni.dll, which does not detect US-ASCII as single-byte code points and keeps interpreting pairs of ASCII bytes as (invalid) quwei indices. Through lucky coincidence, the string has an even number of printable bytes, so that the null character is still in a suitable place for terminating the string (the EUN-CN parser will see it as a null lead-byte and will not keep reading further data). However, the string still consists of 31 invalid two-byte code points (not counting the null). As a further lucky coincidence, this string is never read by Oni's engine, because the subtitle's handle (02_05_05) is one of those that have been clobbered by the spurious double-null (see [[#Chinese_SUBT_issues|"Chinese_SUBT_issues"]] below).

The "level definitions" ([[ONLD]]s) of [[Pre-beta_content#Cut_levels|pre-beta levels]] are never seen in vanilla Oni, but would appear in the "Load Game" dialog if a valid level#_Final.dat were to be supplied at startup (e.g. by a mod). Since xfhsm_oni.dll does not actually support US-ASCII, any untranslated ONLDs are potentially disruptive. | The "level definitions" ([[ONLD]]s) of [[Pre-beta_content#Cut_levels|pre-beta levels]] are never seen in vanilla Oni, but would appear in the "Load Game" dialog if a valid level#_Final.dat were to be supplied at startup (e.g. by a mod).
