[flexcoders] Re: How to display special characters like ° in ComboBox list

[valdhor]

This works for me (& # 176 ; is the little circle used for degrees
right):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
     <mx:ComboBox x="100" y="200" rowCount="7" prompt="Special Characters
Test">
         <mx:dataProvider>
             <mx:String>Character &#171;</mx:String>
             <mx:String>Character &#172;</mx:String>
             <mx:String>Character &#173;</mx:String>
             <mx:String>Character &#174;</mx:String>
             <mx:String>Character &#175;</mx:String>
             <mx:String>Character &#176;</mx:String>
         </mx:dataProvider>
     </mx:ComboBox>
</mx:Application>

Maybe if you post some code?  [;)]
