That means you can type unicode in the script editor, the message box, property inspector fields, etc., and LiveCode knows what to do with it. So in a script you can use: put “привет” into fld “foo” # Cyrillic inside quotes and it just works. You can even use Unicode in variable names and object names, and it just works. Magic.
