...if you plan on using Unicode text.
I'm sure that we've all known about the {"a","b"} as string method to
more rapidly join together strings in large numbers. While trying
desperately to figure out why the caron-G, cedille-S, dotted-capital-I,
and dotless-lowercase-I wouldn't work in my AS Studio program I found
that the following will not function properly (at least not with some
characters):
set a to "a" as Unicode text
set b to "b" as Unicode text
set c to {a,b} as Unicode text
As such, if you plan on using or even possibly any type of Unicode
characters in a script or program, I strongly advise starting out using
(a & b) instead of {a,b}
