Merge and unicode

[Ralph DiMola]

I have to look back and find my timings but I think I got a 10x or better
performance by creating the styled text array and then setting the field to
it.

I took a look. You'd win that wager. I didn't test performance (haven't
written the handler yet) but getting the styledText of an existing list
retains the correct characters.
