Run this little script:
set nums to {5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0} repeat with N in nums display dialog "^ " & (N as text) & " side by side = " & "^" & N giving up after 1 end repeat
display dialog "^0" , "^1", "^2" and "^3" come up blank when they are side by side. Using ASCII number doesn't help. 'as unicode text' doesn't help. (Pointed out by bmose on bbs.applescript.net).
It's not a bug, precisely -- it's a very old Dialog Manager feature to do text substitution. If it sees "^0" (or 1, 2, or 3) in a piece of dialog text, it will substitute the string set by another Dialog Manager call. (ParamText, if you care. No, it's not accessible from AppleScript.) The only suggestion I can give you at the moment is "don't do that."
