Possibly, just possibly, this should be disregarded as numToCodePoint(4000) yields a Bengali character that behave is the way I described; but if one tries to insert numToCodePoint(93)
or numToCodePoint(2356) everything works as previously.

As one of my godfathers (a Bengali) would say "Bengalis always cause problems."

Does anyone have any idea why when in Livecode 6.x if one

has this:

on mouseUp
   set the useUnicode to true
   set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(4000)
end mouseUp

it inserts the character between the chars where the insertion point is inwith a field,

but in Livecode 8.1.1

this:

on mouseUp
   set the text of the selectedText to numToCodePoint(4000)
end mouseUp

it over-writes the char ontop of the existing text (and is bloody awful)?
