Sounds more like a question for the AppleScript Implementors list, but anyway...
AppleScript source code uses MacRoman or equivalent encoding. There's no proper way to specify unicode literals in AS code. That said, code generation isn't such a good way of doing things; instead, write a generic script that takes the file data as parameters to a handler call, then pack your file data into an Apple event as [e.g.] FSRefs and pass this to your NSAppleScript's executeAppleEvent:error: method.
