AppleScript for creating a new folder

[James.Cass at sealedair.com]

Hmmm...

This worked fine for me, and merrily created the folder with diacritical
marks...
--------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
   set targetfolderpath to "Macintosh HD:Users:cassj:testfolder" --
            "testfolder" already exists
   set newfoldername to "ååå-éééé-îîî-øøø-üüü"
   if folder (targetfolderpath & ":" & newfoldername) exists then
      --do nothing
   else
      make new folder in folder targetfolderpath with properties
            {name:newfoldername}
   end if
end tell
--------------------------------------------------

I'm using Script Editor 2.0 (v20) (Beta Version)

works FINE
BUT

doesn't resolve my problem : it doesn't support diacritical
chars...!!!!????
if the new created folder has a diacritical char, the folder is not
created...
