Get characters# ids

Hello,

I'D like to have a general small AppleScript script(?) to give me the Unicode points for the selected text in the frontmost window (say for the first five characters).

My first problem is that there seems to be no general method to get the selected text of window 1 of application 1.
So I might try to distinguish between different applications that I want to use.
But then I run into the second problem that I can't use something like

copy the id of application 1 to myApp

because AppleScript-Editor will not compile this (as long as it is application 1 I suppose).

Has anybody an idea?

All the best
Thomas
