Unicode support for strings in scripts isn't very hard, you simply register a handler with unicode support.

Using unicode for function names etc. is going to be a lot more difficult because AS isn't unicode aware.

Gyrbo pretty much summed it up.

I don't have any plans to support unicode in the script library interface.

For strings declared in the script, you could easily create a factory function that converts the 8bit string to unicode.
