Unicode is an international text standard that allows text and symbols from all of the world’s writing systems to be displayed consistently on computers. AppleScript supports the Unicode text data type.
Your scripts can send and receive Unicode text, and Unicode text displays correctly in the Results and Event Log windows in Script Editor.
Scripts can access elements of Unicode text data using the Character, Word, and Paragraph element classes. They can specify elements using First, Last, Middle, Some, and Every.
Scripts can use the Concatenation (&) operator to join Unicode text data, including concatenating with other types of data.
Scripts can compare Unicode text data with other text, including other text data types, using these operators: Less Than, Greater Than, Less Than Or Equal To, Greater Than Or Equal To, Contains, and Is.
