What's the best way to handle vulgar fractions so when they return from the database they display properly? I have a UI that will convert text strings to vulgar fractions when a user enters "1/2" for example. This is a client requirement and I use AS to do the substitution. They are then pushed to mySQL via PHP. They display fine when viewing using the mySQL admin panel (HTML) but once they are sent to the Flex app as XML they are not handled properly upon the return and become ?. What's the best method for encoding to preserve the fractions ?
