How would I prefix with an appropriate BOM? I read about that but I'm
not sure how.
Many thanks,
Jerry

I am one step away from making my application Universal. Here is
my problem. One of the functions of the app communicates to iTunes
via AppleScript to tell it to play a particular playlist.
I have been converting the name of the playlist to AppleScript
data to solve any non-Roman character problems when referencing
the name in the AppleScript.
For example to play the "Library" playlist in iTunes:
tell application "iTunes"
play playlist «data utxt004C006900620072006100720079»
end tell
instead of:
tell application "iTunes"
play playlist "Library"
end tell
Just a guess here, but utxt might be assuming a particular
endianess (BigEndian?). What happens if you prefix the data block
with an appropriate BOM?
Hmm... there's definitely also problems with Script Editor and
Unicode.
I just created a folder on my desktop with some Hiragana
characters. Using Script Editor, I created a new script document
and hit the Record button. I switched to Finder, selected my
folder and opened it (Command-O). Switched back to the editor and
hit Stop.
The script document at that point did show the proper unicode in
it's window. However, when I hit Run, an error was generated, and
the Hiragana character that was displayed properly was now replaced
with what may be a reinterpretation of those bytes as MacRoman.
