Don't you want to convert utf-8 to utf-16, ... to uniEncode (it, "UTF16")?

It was close though. LiveCode uses ascii 10 instead of ascii 13 for line
endings. Those are converted automatically when you paste, but not when
you put text into a field by script. So just replace cr with unix line
endings and it works:
on mouseUp
set the textfont of fld 1 to "InaiMathi,Unicode"
answer file "Choose the Unicode for this song" with "OK"
if the result <>"cancel" then
get url ("binfile:" & it)
replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in it
set the unicodetext of fld 1 to it
end if
end mouseUp
