When I'm running the step c I've an error, could someone confirm this
behaviour ?
Mac OS X uses Unicode. You must express all paths as 'Unicode text'
and not as 'string'. Strings are only the same as Unicode (utf-8) if
they contain only 7-bit characters.
Then why does the problem happen only with circumflexed characters, and
not with other option-characters?
Actually, come to think of it, it's not all circumflexed characters;
the Angstrom character (option-a) doesn't have the problem--only those
characters requiring two keystrokes, the first of which is an
option-keystroke.

We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem.
