Found a solution for this one. You use String.fromCharCode(), but as this takes decimal codes you need to convert a hex code to decimal. So this would do the trick:

uc = "014b";
app.selection[0].contents = String.fromCharCode( hex2dec( uc ) );

Bizarrely, JS has no hex/dec converter, so you'll have to write a function yourself, as below (there are also some converters available on the web):

function hex2dec( h ) {
var h = h.toUpperCase();
var hrev = "";
var d = 0;
var base = "0123456789ABCDEF";
for( var i = 0 ; i < h.length ; i++ )
    hrev = h[i] + hrev;
for( var i = 0 ; i < hrev.length ; i++ )
    d = d + Math.pow(16,i) * base.indexOf(hrev[i])
return d
}
