You could probably do the reverse of what I am doing. That is, you could create an HTML file with the proper unicode text, then use VBScript (if you are using Windows) to create an invisible word document and open up the HTML file. Then, do selection.wholestory and selection.copy. Then, close the invisible word document.
It would take a second or two, but it would put the unicode text into the clipboard, but formatted by an MS Word document, and thus compatible with MS Word. Did that make sense?
