Thanks.  But I have just learned, this only works with declarative mxml.

If you want to crate the special char in Actionscript, you must use the 
hex/Unicode character, that has the format \uXXXX.

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

Go to a page like this one:

http://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php

Copy the actual character (not the HTML representation) and paste it 
into your code. Bada bing bada boom.
