As Peter says. This statement appears in the textDecode entry in the Dictionary but for some strange reason not in the textEncode entry. It says it all:
It is highly recommended that any time you interface with things outside LiveCode (files, network sockets, processes, etc) that you explicitly textEncode any text you send outside LiveCode and textDecode all text received into LiveCode. If this doesn't happen, a platform-dependent encoding will be used (which normally does not support Unicode text). As stated this includes simple things like reading a text file into LC and includes sending to and receiving from any flavour of database. It also includes things like using shell - have been tripped up when using ls and other shell file utilities that involve file names with accented chars.
