Circumflex "^" symbol not showing in Flash

I am trying to change some English text to French for a client and when changing a vowel in the action script, the letter ô appears and I can see it but when published never shows up. It just is missing.  All the other French leters with special accents appear but nothing with the ^ above it ever appears (e,i,o,u) all have same problem when I add the ^ above the letter. So it appears to be something with that Circumflex symbol. I've tried the unicode input too of ALT 0244 too and still nothing.

Flash professional CS5  v 11.0.2.489 with a PC running win XP service pack 3. All updated on flash and windows are current
