Hello Rudolf,
Same behavior here, with Mavericks.
The problem seems to reside on the "defaults read" command's side:
$ defaults read AAA
{
Testkey = "\\U00d6\\U00dc\\U00c4\\U00f6\\U00fc\\U00e4";
}
$ defaults read AAA Testkey
\326\334\304\366\374\344
I never noticed it, but it's interesting, to say the least... ;-)
Anyway, System Events might provide a workaround:
tell application "System Events" to get value of property list item "Testkey" of property list file "~/Library/Preferences/AAA.plist"
HTH,
Axel
