I did a quick check and it turns out that these two characters are not high
ASCII characters (i.e. numToChar(129) to numToCar(255)), it's Unicode. I did
the same thing as Sarah, and named a file on the desktop "čů.txt". I then
ran this AppleScript from Script Editor:
set tFile to choose file of type {"TEXT"} with prompt "Get a file:"
get id of character -6 of (tFile as string)
This returned:
{99, 780}
As you can see, the "č" comes back as two IDs, which is I'm sure why
Revolution is showing the same two chars. Try this with a <255 ASCII
character, and you just get the number:
get id of character -3 of (tFile as string)
Returns:
116
So while Script Editor can convert the combined chars back to the proper
character, Rev doesn't seem to be able to do that... so it's still a bug in
that we have difficulty working with Unicode file names, but at least it has
an explanation...
