Aside from setting creator and file types, are there any other places
where this gotcha is likely to strike?
It strikes in result pane of Script Editor (some unicode glyphs),
choose from list
-- For Panther
-- provided the font "Apple Symbols.ttf" is installed, which comes with
Essentials.pkg
property cL : ASCII character 199
property cR : ASCII character 200
-- get the unicode glyph from code point
on hexU(h)
run script (cL & "data utxt" & h & cR)
end hexU
property wKing : hexU("2654")
property wQueen : hexU("2655")
display dialog (wKing & wQueen)
-- you should see pieces of King & Queen
wKing & wQueen
-- result pane of Script Editor displays "??"
try
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at desktop with properties {name:(wKing & wQueen)}
end tell
end try
-- a new folder is made on the Desktop
choose from list (list folder (path to desktop folder))
-- the dialog display incorrectly
Also, read, write access. There are subtle differences between raw
event utf8 and utxt.
Feel headache? ;)
