Of course thats in OS 9 and requires the 'Unicode OSAX'

But you probably wanted an OS X solution.

That's not a solution in any OS -- just the false interpretation of Unicode that is still perpetuated by the die-hards. The only people that implemented Unicode in OS 8+ were Apple in WorldText. Everyone else just closed their eyes and pretended the TEC was producing Unicode. Neither WASTE nor BBEdit seem to have a clue how to do things properly. Apple demonstrated that it was possible to implement Unicode in carbon and pre-carbon apps and not a soul took any notice.
