There is no official way to convert between Unicode code points and characters in AppleScript, though there are workarounds using the shell or an intermediate file. For example:

set e to do shell script "perl -e 'print \"\\x{3048}\"'" --> hiragana letter e. do shell script "perl -e 'use utf8; print ord(\"" & e & "\")'" --> 12360


One method that I've been using to produce Unicode-only characters is:

---------------

«data utxt3048» as Unicode text

---------------

While this seems to be substantially faster than using a shell script, I'm just wondering if there's a potential downside...
