What I'm getting at is that generally you shouldn't need to do any
unicode conversions at all anymore. So it would help to know how you
are using the command and in what context. There isn't a need to
specify unicode text, you can just treat everything the way we use
plain ASCII.
So, what does the script do? Does the field already contain text? Is
it generating new text? The script editor supports unicode so you can
just type the actual characters into the script if that's what you
need to do.
If this is for Devawriter, you should be able to name the keyboard
keys with their unicode character and then insert text with a single
line of code:
put the short name of me into the selection
Ha, Ha, Ha: Sanskrit when written in Devanagari employs thousands of
glyphs called "conjunct
consonants" which are composed of constituent consonants in a
consonantal cluster: so my
Devawriter does "all the clever knitting".

If Devanagari were as simple as "put the short name of me into the
selection" the whole thing would have been completed in a month instead
of 4 years of my spare time.
I have similar programs fro Glagolitic, Old Church Slavonic and Gothic
that took me about 2 days each.

The problem is that the stack using "set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC"
to numToCodePoint(57669)"
doesn't work.
Tests with "put numToCodePoint(57669) into fld "fPROC"" do work.
That's enough of a "case" for me.

I wonder if you really need to do that any more. What's the use case?

Here's a puzzle:
I need to replace thousands of lines like this:
set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to numToCodePoint(57669)
with this:
put numToCodePoint(57669) into fld "fPROC"
the problem is that the number of the codePoint is different in each
case.
Wildcards?
