Sometimes, that might still make sense, as for control characters, non-breaking space, etc. But for strings that is supposed to be a coherent text in a language that needs non-ASCII parts of Unicode, this is not so. Instead, having the sequences makes the text just harder to read and edit. We have already removed several such sequences before, but some remains.

Maybe we can merge the string now:
Suggestion:

            new Run("none", "Αθηναι ασπαζονται υμας!") // Greek

At least two words seem to be split between the wrapped lines.

Suggestion:

            new Run("none", "שלום מירושלים")

Suggestion:

                    "元",       // "Gan"-nen
