Hi Trevor,

In VAPP dictionary said

EscapeString: Escape given string.
    EscapeString  international text  -- srting to be escaped.
        [ForRegEx  boolean]  -- TRUE if string must be escaped for RegEx
search.
    Result:   international text


So you should call it as

    set s to ³some str¹ing²

    tell application Valentina
           set es to EscapeString s

    end tell
