put uniEncode(gTagFile,"SimpleChinese") into gTagFile
and then write gTagFile to disk.
When the tagged file is imported into InDesign, the Chinese character E4B88A (UTF8; 4E0A Hex) is appearing as E4B88D (4E0D Hex). All the other Chinese characters are okay.

You should use binfile.
If you are writing to the file, you should be using binary instead of text in 'open file'.
Thanks Dar. I tried binfile but unfortunately InDesign will not import the resulting file with error "There is no filter for the requested operation".
For the moment I will have to replace the E4B88A character in my source files with a holding character before running the files through my Rev formattting program, and then use search and replace in Indesign to reinsert the correct character at the other end.
My worry is that over much longer stretches of text than the small sample I've been working with till now, other Chinese characters may be scrambled by the uniEncode function which would cause me serious problems. If I find a workaround for the problem I'll let you know.
Thanks again
Callum
