| Hi,
if I have to add additional software, I'd rather stick with AppleScript and take the (always useful) Satimage.osax with its "change" and regular expressions. This worked correctly for all characters I checked (up to character id 255). With this, the task looks like this:
on run set the clipboard to my transformedText(get the clipboard) end run
on transformedText(theText) set theText to change ":" into "" in theText return change "(.*)" into " \\u$1" in theText with regexp end transformedText
Best Thomas

Old habit of an inhabitant of a country using several non ASCII characters.
A good thing too.
In the interests of variety, speed and, dare I prompt an argument, legibility, here's another version:
script capNStuff set x to current application's NSApp's convertedValue() set x to x's componentsSeparatedByString_(":") set x to x's componentsJoinedByString_("") set x to x's uppercaseString() end script
set the clipboard to "a2:fh:2f:vv:i1:q1:For:Yvan:KŒNIG" tell application "ASObjC Runner" to set the clipboard to (run the script {capNStuff} converting (get the clipboard as text) with result returned)
