OK! ... Is AppleScript support for Unicode ready for prime time?
But if you leave off the "as unicode text" in the assignment, then
it's NOT unicode, so I don't see how even the qualified question
applies here...
Which, I think, identifies another problem. The script where I first
encountered a problem has over 1600 lines of code. It's big. If I am
going to use Unicode text in this script (and I don't), then I need
some command or statement that will insure that every text string is
Unicode without having to remember to put "as Unicode text" after it.
Currently the default for text is 'ascii text' unless "as Unicode
text" is declared. It's very easy to omit that detail and very hard
to find the omission once it's made. It's the sort of error that
takes days to find.
