Normally if one wants to put a unicode char into a field one does something
like this:

set the unicodeText of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" to numToChat(2327) & numToChar(9745)

or

set the unicodeText of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" to the unicodeText of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" & numToChar(67234)

and that works reasonably well . . .

HOWEVER; if one cracks open a Unicode font with a font editing program such as
Fontographer

[the best way to see this is to use the LastResort font from the Unicode consortium]

one finds that there are glyphs/chars that belong to font families that have names such as "kannada_31" but no hex address that is required for LiveCode to call it.

Now one CAN generate Unicode addresses for those chars: but the big and burning question is if those ARE the real Unicode addresses or just locally assigned values.
