Escape codes for delim characters in listbox value list?

Hello.

I am using an Access listbox with RowSourceType set to "Value List."
Some of the values that I want to add to the list contain characters that
are interpreted as list delimiters when I set the RowSource property.
I have tried replacing the offending literal characters with every
escape sequence that I can think of. . .nothing works.

Suggestions?

Thanks

The delimiter for values in a value list is ";".
Include the values in quotes
i.e.
"aaa;";bbb;"u;pp"

gives a list:
aaa;
bbb
u;pp
