  -- "CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-28CCA"
  set a to «data utxt00028CCA» as Unicode text -- 167114
  count a
  --> 2 -- two characters

I'm surprised to see the glyph of U+28CCA, the meaning of this character is not, ... well, suitable for public discussion.

BTW, «data utxt00028CCA» does not produce code point U+28CCA, you may compare this one:

set a to «data utxt00028CCA» as Unicode text
set b to «data utxt8CCA» as Unicode text
a = b

According to character palette, the code point beyond U+FFFF, e.g. U +2F9D0 is composed by two hex values:

-- code point U+2F9D0 is composed by D87E & DDD0
set c to «data utxtD87EDDD0» as unicode text
display dialog c

Script Editor sometime can't display unicode text correctly in result pane, you may try display dialog or sent the result to TextEdit.app.

Anyone know the mechanism why & now code point beyond U+FFFF is composed by hex values?


TIA
bill
