Others have explained this in more detail, but IMO left out the essential
clue: character *repertoire* and character *encoding* are different things.
(In this case, Unicode is a repertoire. utf-8, utf-16, etc. are encodings.)

Yes. In fact, under Mac OS X (I don't know if this is since 10.0 or later)
AppleScrpt reads and writes UTF-16 by default. (Well, at least when you work
with class Unicode text. Maybe not for class string? -- I'd have to check.)
