A noble goal. Inserting text in InDesign is done by setting the contents of
an insertion point, so you want this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    tell document 1
        set properties of last insertion point of every story to
{contents:"v", applied font:"Zapf Dingbats", point size:11}
    end tell
end tell
