Hi Tim,

I think that if you put a comment like:

     -- encoding: utf8

in the first line of the .lc file (or the second line if you have a 
shebang), the server engine will treat the .lc file as UTF-8 text rather 
than native text.

On the other hand, that solution might not work except in LiveCode 6.7 
or later.  I'm not sure!
