I think you need to use the STRCONV() function.

>The code above doesn't work. Traced with the debugger, lcMyVar will correcly show the unicode, but the query returns no data. A trace on the back-end SQL database showed that the query is arriving with what looks like ASCII code? (not really sure what it is, just numbers and symbols, probably the result of trying to interpret the unicode value as ASCII.) If I run the same query using SQL-passthru it does work.
