Hi Richmond,
It doesn't work because the first char actually gets the first byte and thus
you only get the first half of the first character.
This might work, depending on the textFont setting and maybe writing direction:
on mouseUp
set the unicodetext of fld "xxx" to char 1 to 2 of the unicodetext of
fld "zzz"
end mouseUp
