 		If anyone is thinking this is a substitution cypher, here are some of the highest letter distributions for the Unicode chickenscratch (sample taken over all Unicode posts, excluding the ASCII one):

There are 362 unique Unicode characters used, which makes me think this is not the case...

 		You think it may be converted, and then converted again?

I'm thinking two different things: either it is substitution, but the key is different for each post or we should be looking at some more mathematical property of the Unicode (converting it to hex, performing bitwise operations, etc). So far neither way seems to be getting anywhere in my experiments.

The single ASCII post is also throwing me off. I am starting to think that that may be some kind of primer. Whatever operations are performed to decode that might be applied to the Unicode stuff, too. The odd thing about the ASCII message is that the line breaks are kind of funky and seemingly arbitrary and the white space seems to be tabs, not spaces.
