          <para>Certain characters have special meaning in vstecmsbuild project files. Examples of the characters include semicolons (;) and asterisks (*). In order to use these special characters as literals, they must be specified with the syntax %nn, where nn represents the ASCII hexadecimal value of the character. This method performs that conversion.</para>
