which raises the interesting question

Since the <class ktxt>> thing _does_ work for everything returned by the
Finder for file and folder names, for the file systems alias filepaths, and
for lots else - does this mean that the file system has _not_ been
implemented in real Unicode, or that it's AppleScript which is giving us the
pseudo-version?

Save a TextEdit window as [UNICODE HEX INPUT] 0EA1 (that's a nought) with no extension and you will see that the Finder is consistent with the rest. If there exist displayable conversions of the name, then these styled conversions will be returned -- if not, as in the case above, then ditto.

tell app "Finder" to name of item 1 of (get selection)
--> "?"
result as record
--> ERROR: Can't make.....
