I would like to be able to copy and paste into fields and scripts Chinese characters, which are of course unicode and then manipulate the resulting strings. Is this possible in livecode? How?

BUT, I have just copy-pasted ?? from a Google Translate window into an LC text-field. I have, also, copied Chinese ideographs from one text-field and posted them into a second one.
