That's a pretty good analogy. The missing bit of info, I think, is that 
LiveCode unicode isn't standard, it's a combination of single and 
double-byte characters. So we need to convert the text twice, once to 
get it into LiveCode's non-standard form and then again to convert it to 
display in a field.
