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
That works very well indeed.
HOWEVER . . . my textField contains mixed Unicode and ASCII text [spaces,
Latin letters] . . . so I am obviously going to have a jolly time
detecting whether each char falls below the 255 ASCII limit and then, if
it does, treating it as an ASCII char, and if it doesn't lining it up
with the next char to give a double-byte char.

set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "XXXX" to the first char of the unicodeText of fld
