Byte order in unicode button labels

[Mark Smith]

Not certain that this is the appropriate or best way to deal with it  
(I know little about unicode), but just to swap the bytes (this sort  
of thing has worked well for me when dealing with binary numbers):

function swapBytePairs pString
   repeat with n = 2 to length(pString) step 2
     put char n of pString & char n-1 of pString after swappedString
   end repeat
   return swappedString
end swapBytePairs

Best,

Mark
