Re: AS and Unicode characters



I don't know the context in which you're trying to do those conversions, but you might consider
whether Applescript is the best way to solve your problem:

For interactive input, there are various keyboard input modules available as well as the
'Special Characters...' character palette. ( and character encoding options settings for
a number of editors as well as Terminal.app )

For batch conversions, there is iconv ( program and libraries ), encoding conversion libraries
in Python ( and probably perl and others ), xmllint and xsltproc ( can convert named and numeric
entities and convert character encodings in xml files -- and you could just wrap text in an xml
wrapper to use those programs for conversion. )

If you're trying to convert encodings of a whole file, one of these might already do most of what
you want.
