Why isn't isoToMac anymore needed with LC 8 custom props?

If by file you mean LC stack file then you're OK. If by file you mean
some other external document that your read from/write to, then you
should be aware of this Dictionary entry - see textEncode or
textDecode:

It is highly recommended that any time you interface with things
outside LiveCode (files, network sockets, processes, [databases] etc)
that you explicitly textEncode any text you send outside LiveCode and
textDecode all text received into LiveCode. If this doesn't happen, a
platform-dependent encoding will be used (which normally does not
support Unicode text).
