Here is another work around. Not sure I would want to use it.
tell application "Finder"
set charID to (id of "A") -- this works
run script "character id " & (charID as text) -- this works
end tell
log the result --> "A"
Both "tell me to ..." and "run script ..." seem to remove the
offensive command from the Finder.
But why using Finder? Don’t need it if you write
set x to 65
character id x
-->> "A"
Anyway using Finder is buggy
