How do you enter characters using unicode notation and using a variable? To insert a unicode value you'd use something like this:

app.selection[0].contents="\u0254"

to insert unicode character 0254. But the following does not work:

var a="0254";
app.selection[0].contents="\u"+a

This enters u0254 in the document. And with

var a="0254";
app.selection[0].contents="\\u"+a

\u0254 is entered.

Can't get this to work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Peter
