Unicode problem--Japanese book

[Thomas McCarthy]

Up to MC 2.4 I was using the htmltext property to do all my Kanji, but it's a real drag.

With 2.5 I tried the unicode feature, but have run into trouble--i.e. the Kanji for book, "hon" doesn't show up when I move it from one field to another via script. --strangely other kanji seem unaffected.
Here's the script I'm trying:

put item 3 of line tline of fld "tText" into fld "kanji"

Items 1 and 2 are the english meaning and the Japanese reading in a Latin script.


Any hints would be appreciated.

On a Mac (still) with system 8.6 (who, me upgrade? seems like yesterday I was using and loving system 6.)
