I don't know the context in which you're trying to do those
conversions, but you might consider
whether Applescript is the best way to solve your problem:
For interactive input, there are various keyboard input modules
available as well as the
'Special Characters...' character palette. ( and character encoding
options settings for
a number of editors as well as Terminal.app )
For batch conversions, there is iconv ( program and libraries ),
encoding conversion libraries
in Python ( and probably perl and others ), xmllint and xsltproc
( can convert named and numeric
entities and convert character encodings in xml files -- and you
could just wrap text in an xml
wrapper to use those programs for conversion. )
If you're trying to convert encodings of a whole file, one of these
might already do most of what
you want.
