Depends what you mean by "double byte character". Hex string? unichar?
Sounds like you're trying to do code generation of some sort, which

Sure, I am using my main application to pull data to be inserted in a Word Document.
thus pulling dynamic text in insert into preformed applescript code i.e.
insert text "pulled text
from db here" at text object of selection
This works fine until I come across any Japanese, Chinese, ect. languages, which I can test if they are and then wrap them in code such as:
insert text "pulled text " & «data utxt1575» as Unicode text & "from db here" at text object of selection
however, when the NSApplescript event attempts to pass that to applescript, it seems to not recognize the chevrons. It will replace them with what looks like a different character.
not sure if this was what you were looking for (nor if I made a lot of sense for that matter ;) ), but it seems I need to find a way to pass the string to applescript without using the chevrons.
Thanks for looking at it!
