Depends what you mean by "double byte character". Hex string? unichar?
Sounds like you're trying to do code generation of some sort, which
for most problems is the wrong solution anyway. More information would

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.
