set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(2340)

works 100%

and THAT is not my problem.

My problem is how to keep the cursor directly after an inputted char that
is being inserted into a unicodeText string rather than have it jump either
to the end of the first line, or to the end of the complete text.

I have just tried this:

on mouseUp
    set the useUnicode to true
    set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(2340)
   select after char -1 of field X
end mouseUp

and it did not work at all: the cursor remained, momentarily, after the 
glyph and then moved down to the end of the string.
