I have some UTF-16 unicode raw text. If I import this into Pages, it displays the font correctly and also the line breaks between paragraphs correctly

But if I use this function:

on mouseUp
 answer file "Choose a unicode file to read in."
 if it is empty then exit mouseUp
 put "binfile:" & it into urlName
 replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in urlName
 set the unicodeText of fld "display" to url urlName
end mouseUp

the line breaks are not appearing in the field in revolution.

Also if I try to analyze what chars are there, where the line break should be, by selecting across a missing line break and then use this test:

on mouseUp
  set the useUnicode to true
  if the selection is empty then
     answer "No Selection" with "ok"
  end if
  put the selection into tUnicode
  put tUnicode
  repeat for each char x in tUnicode
put chartonum(x) & cr after tOutput end repeat
put tOutput # returns empty
end mouseUp

I get nothing in the msg box. If I switch from Tamil Inaimathi (Mac unicode font) to Anjal Chittu unicode, The Tamil displays correctly and now I can clearly see a two byte block

space+square-box-symbol (somewhat transparent) where the line breaks should be. But it still returns empty on an empty to determine what the bytes are....

How do we deal with/import correctly, line breaks in unicode text in Revolution?

I plan to create an editing environment as a revlet for online work... and unicode will be imported and exported freely for later use in InDesign. Obviously CRLF (or whatever it is in Unicode) needs to be preserved.

Thanks!
