Yes, you can do this. All you have to do is make sure that the  
variable contains valid unicode text, then do:

set the unicodeText of fld "babel" to varFullOfUnicode

It works with custom properties, too.

set the unicodeText of fld "babel" to the uniStoredText of me

As Mark said, if it's not already uni-encoded you have to run it  
through uniencode() first.
