.replace() to change letter into a different glyph

Hey Guys,

I have the source text of a layer referencing the comp name. I'd to edit the comp name and it update on the text layer. This is my code.

compName = comp("Liam Carlin").name.replace(/a/gi,"a");

However I am not trying to replace the letter a with the same letter a I wasnt to replace it with a different glyph version of that font family. Is it possible? I am unable to paste the correct glyph letter into the expression editor as it just see it as the letter 'a'.

Thanks

Liam
