Getting the Command character to display in a text view

Every time I enter this:

set content of text field "award_instr" of window "advance" to "Clear any selection with ⌘-click"

It compiles to this:

set content of text field "award_instr" of window "advance" to "Clear any selection with ?-click"

Except, of course, that the question mark is upside down, which does not copy properly here, nor when I run the application.

How can I get the command character (⌘) to display in the text view?

Hi Craig,

I haven’t tested it but maybe you should define the Unicode character explicitly

set cmd to «data utxt2318» as Unicode text
set content of text field "award_instr" of window "advance" to "Clear any selection with " & cmd & "-click"

Using Unicode-only characters in script strings

Perfect. Thank you gentlemen, especially for kai’s article, Bruce. I knew there was something out there that I had read before, but I could not find it.
