Find & Replace

[J. Landman Gay]

What I'm getting at is that generally you shouldn't need to do any unicode 
conversions at all anymore. So it would help to know how you are using the 
command and in what context. There isn't a need to specify unicode text, 
you can just treat everything the way we use plain ASCII.

So, what does the script do? Does the field already contain text? Is it 
generating new text? The script editor supports unicode so you can just 
type the actual characters into the script if that's what you need to do.

If this is for Devawriter,  you should be able to name the keyboard keys 
with their unicode character and then insert text with a single line of code:
