(Note: This is ASM for my Calculator; TI-83+. Unless you are familiar with it, some things may confuse you.)

I am working on a calculator program (a game ), and I needed some arrow symbol in a specific spot; this arrow thing can't be put in any string with TI-BASIC (normal Texas Instruments calculator programming). No problem, just make an ASM program to display it in all the correct spots.
I make that program, and when I go to test it instead of just displaying the arrow (05), it displays 3 characters (45,C9,05). The 45C9 comes from the two characters before the 05 (…EF6145C90500).

Did I do something wrong? Is there any character I can change to correct this?
I tried changing a few numbers that could make sense; but it had no effect, made the program do nothing at all, or it crashed.

If it helps this is the stuff in the include file:

ADDITION:
I found the line. "C3E69D21ED9DEF61" to "C3E69D21EF9DEF61" (Near the bottom).
I blame the compiler.
