Try this? Untested but should work. (The untested part is the first

Unfortunately does not work, but
in my fld "FIRST", which initially contains 4 unicode chars, outputs 2
unicode chars.
Probably something to do with the fact that those are 4 double-byte chars.
This is where "Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits"; the
antic being the problem
with double-byte characters:
"Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,"
and mysen fair forjeskit . . . :( an blackafrontit tae! whit a scunner.
I was monarchizin a bit, so pleased with my unicode "exchange" script, but
the antic (as usual) scoffed most effectively at my self-assumed pomp.
