macOS Applescript Special Characters

[XnavxeMiyyep]

When I try to type a character, such as é, into AppleScript, it is treated as an a. (say "olé" is pronounced "olah", for instance).

Is there a way to make Applescript recognize such characters?

You can use this app to see the key codes. In order to produce an "é", first make the accent via "key code 24" then the "e".

I don't know. What characters do you want to type? Greek alphabet?

I wanted to type things like "delta" and "is an element of". However, I just realized that Butler actually has a print text function that can handle this, and I can map keyboard shortcuts to series of things (so applescript, butler prints text, more applescript).

Thanks for the info though.
