If you get the htmlText of a char in a unicode mixed field (i.e. containing single & double byte chars), there is an attribute of the <p></p> tag that tells you the font. If you get char 1 of a double byte char, that font attribute of the paragraph tag will (in my experience) contain "unicode" as item 2 of the font.
Thus, try "put the htmlText of char 1 of fld SomeUnicodeField into msg". That at least allows one to detect if a char is unicode or not, even if one only gets hold of one of the two bytes that make up the char. I think this is the simplest (albeit clumsy) way to detect the nature of a char in a run of mixed text.
