I added 3 bullets ••• to prevent the automatic conversion to the html
characters, I am posting via Nabble. You'd have to remove the ••• and please
watch out for linebreaks.
I am shure there are more gotchas and it is not getting nicer this way but

Thanks to everyone who posted all the fun stuff in this thread today.
The workaround below combines ideas from all of you.
I learned two essential things from you guys:
1) mouseChunk, mouseText, mouseCharChunk, and a couple of related functions
return the positions of bytes, not characters. In

byteToNum(byte 1 of the russian letter R) is 32 which is (TADA) SPACE and thus
a word delimiter. Did I mention I hate unicode and the way it currently (not)
works?

Hi Richmond,
The itemDel can be only one char/byte long. If the useUnicode is true, then
numToChar(32) returns 2 bytes. Hence the error. The docs are correct.

Is there an equivalent to the mouseText, or the mouseChunk, or the

Hi Jacque,
That's wrong for unicode, because it will catch one NULL too many, either at
the beginning or the end of the string, depending on whether it is small or big
endian (which depends on the processor that LiveCode is running on).
If you're really desperate, you might use this approach an

Does the "word" delimiter work? If so, you could try this in the field:

Hi, List! It's me again with my Unicode problems in bilingual fields. I just

I'm trying to retrieve the text of the word the user clicked on in a locked
