In MXML, Flex recognizes the following XML escape sequences
for named characters: < for < > for > & for & " for " &apos for ' I don't think there is any way to declare others, but you
can always specify any Unicode character by its numeric code, in either decimal
or hex. For example, either or 
 will give you the character with code 13. I don't happen to know the code for a degree symbol in
Unicode. Inside an ActionScript string literal, the escape sequence would
be \u0D - Gordon From: You can use the "charmap"
utility on windows to see such symbols.. -abdul From: You can copy paste the degree sign in MXML
and it should show correctly. <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"> <mx:TextArea
text="30°" /> </mx:Application> Save your MXML file with UTF-8 encoding,
it should work. -abdul From: Hi, I need to display Celsius (250°C)
string in a Flex app. Data comes from CF and you can use
° in CF to show it correctly in HTML but when it comes to Flash Player,
it just spells it (°) out. What should I use for special Chars? Thanks Agha Mehdi IDT - eBusiness Program Manager Work: 408.284.8239 Fax: 408.284.2766
