The Menu Manager recognizes a menu with the Apple character (Unicode 
0xF8FF, kAppleLogoUnicode in HIToolbox/Events.h) as being the 
Application menu, and automatically draws replaces its title with a 
bold version of the app's name. If you're replacing your own 
Application menu, you should set the title to the Apple character.
