My second [problem] was thinking the htmlText would handle the 
unicode...it didn't & neither did the unicodeText.
But once I typed the symbol in the field, moving the text to the 
second field works fine.

However, the solution is not perfect: I was moving the htmlText of 
the field so that any imbedded font/style/size changes in the text in 
the original field are carried over to the target field.
* Create a field containing text, including "¤" (euro symbol).
* Copy the field
* Put the rtfText of field 1 into field 2: "¤" = "\'DB"
* Put the htmlText of field 1 into field 2: "¤" = "¤"
* Put the unicodeText of field 1 into field 2: "¤" = " §"
* Put the text of field 1 into field 2: "¤" = "¤"
So how does one move _styled_ text containing "¤ "from one field to 
another without changing the content & style?  Is there some way to 
define "¤" to Run Rev or the O/S?
