Aloha (in NYC we just say howyadoin'?)
I had some trouble getting unicode text to do what I expected in Rev.
My understanding at the moment is this:
Rev handles text internally as utf16, that's the unicodetext.
No matter where you put it or display it, it's still the unicodetext.
Rev supposedly handles all conversions, which I interpret as line
endings and byte order, and that seems to be the case as long as I
specify what to uniencode to and unidecode from.
I'm using OS/X and working on a stack that will be a Windows standalone.
I needed utf8 to make round trips to the web server and got all kinds
of weird results until I started encoding/decoding at every step. Then
is worked fine.
I'm using TextWrangler and it seems to detect and save just fine.
TextEdit I think will automatically convert line endings, so probably
Pages as well.

Aloha, Joe:
I'm not quite sure how your suggestion relates to the problem of
endlines.
The unicode.txt file I have is being read OK in Pages on the mac.
It also loads just fine in Rev, with the exception of the line breaks
I'm not sure where the uniencode/unidecode could be used to solve
the line break issue.

The trick is to use uniencode/unidecode for everything.
Three separate examples:
ask file "Name new file:" with "NewFile.xml"
put "binfile:" & it into theNewFileName
get the unicodetext of cd fld 1
put unidecode(it,"utf8") into url (theNewFileName)
------------------------------------------
set the unicodetext of cd fld 1 to uniencode(tMyUnicode,"utf8")
------------------------------------------
put URL (theFTPRequest) into theDownLoadedText
put uniencode(theDownLoadedText,"utf8") into theDownLoadedText
put unidecode(theDownLoadedText,"ANSI") into cd fld 1 of cd id 4630
