For STYLED text. Of course for plain text I totally love TW and use it a lot!

Hey JD, you would probably know this procedure: I see a Unicode 
character on a Web page <http://www.ytn.co.kr/>, in this case a black 
triangle (like "[>"), and want to find out what code point it is. So 
I copied to the clipboard and wrote a script to try and convert it 
using something like this:

item 1 of ((((theU as «class ut16») as string) as record) as list)

and then convert the string to hex, but it didn't match the code 
point in the Character Palette (25B6, or possibly 25BA).

Any ideas?
