Symbols

i am using dynamic text boxes with variables to display text through the ".text" function...

i am trying to display the degree º symbol... but just simply writing º in my action script does not recognize it....

any input?

i know in HTML the special symbols have their own special identifiers...

thanks!

Sorry KGLAD... not sure what you mean by this...

Im on a Mac if that matters at all...

tried to render text as HTML,but i dont think that is what you meant... i didnt see any "special characters" options like there is in DreamWeaver...

where should i look?
