Actually I want to do more than just open the file. Or is it definitely impossible to use un-American pathnames in AppleScript?
I did a test with this... it seems that the code to resolve the alias in AppleScript doesn't like non-latin encoded pathnames. If you give it a regular file and don't ask it to resolve an alias, it happily works... even with non-English (I don't know Thai? so I used Japanese characters for the test, but I'm assuming it works pretty much the same--I know, dangerous to assume such things from computers, right? :) )... but if you ask it to resolve an alias, it dies with the same error message that you were getting (String encoded with \uNNNN in place of actual UTF-16
values).
