Hi Nicolas,
Finally something I can answer!
I have found that you need to use 'open file' because that let's you
specify the file's encoding.
Assume the path to your file is in tFile, these lines should work:
open file tFile for utf8 read
read from file tFile until end
put it into fld "indices"
close file tFile
If there is a more elegant way, I'm sure the pros will chime in!

With Notepad++, created a new file, pasted English and Japanese text, set
encoding to UTF-8, then saved as .txt. (Confirmed the file by opening with
Windows' "Notepad".)
Next, in LC8.1 ran this button script:
on mouseUp
put empty into field "indices"
set the itemdel to quote
put item 2 of the long name of this stack into tDataPath
set the itemdel to "/"
delete the last item of tDataPath
put "/Data/bilingual.txt" after tDataPath
put "file:" & tDataPath into tURL
put url tURL into field "indices"
end mouseUp
The text appears in the field, but with Japanese text garbled.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
