AppleMods' Unicode library
<http://applemods.sourceforge.net/mods/Data/Unicode.php > has various
commands for this sort of thing, e.g.:
-- (library loading code omitted for clarity)
tell application "TextEdit"
set character 1 of document 1 to _Unicode's uChar(650)
end tell
Not super-fast (but few things in AS are), and some commands may not
be 100% reliable due to bugs in AS's unicode support, but it ought to
get the job done here.
If you've not used AppleMods' libraries before, you'll need to
download and install AppleMods' Loader system first
<http://applemods.sourceforge.net/getstarted.html>. Run the Loader
installer, then download and add the Unicode and FormatStringParser
libraries to the ASLibraries folder. You can use the LoaderWizard
applet to generate the library loading code to paste at the top of
your script.
