LiveCode 7 codepoint question

[Dar Scott]

Here is my experiment to look at characters that are multiple codepoints in Japanese.  (This experiment is limited to Katakana.)

(I don’t know Japanese, so I apologize for anything goofy.)

This shows the two-codepoint versions of ド as one character.

On my OS X system, the latter two did not render as one character in the message box, though.  I might be doing something wrong.  When I pasted the output string into mail, one of those combined but the second didn’t—maybe it is intended for use with half-width Katakana.  

The output is this:

ト	ド	ド	1	トﾞ	1
