Launch character palette using AppleScript in Snow Leopard

tell application "CharacterPalette" to activate

There is an issue though: the new character palette doesn’t get “bound” to any of the applications, therefore double-clicking a symbol doesn’t paste it automatically to the text field. You’d have to drag-and-drop.

I’m posting this because most results from Google were telling me to launch some “.component”, that doesn’t exist on my Snow Leopard system.
