\u00A9 is AS syntax that only means
something inside of an AS string literal.
In an XML literal, you have to use XML
entity syntax, which I believe would be data#x00A9;/data.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading
Unicode values from XML and viewing in Flex components as HTML
In a recent project, I wanted to load the Unicode
values for special
characters from an external XML file. I wanted these values to show up
in a label or text box using something like label.htmlText =
\ul00A9, which would produce the copyright symbol. However, when I
loaded the values from a simple XML node, the resulting label showed
the literal value\ul00A9 instead of the copyright symbol. I created
a test application and found that local XML vars work and local
Unicode strings work, but not loaded Unicode values from XML. I have
sample URL for my test application (right-click view source) and the
code below:
URL: http://thanksmister.com/xmlunicode/index.html
Flex Code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute creationComplete=charXML.send();
height=210
width=393 viewSourceURL=srcview/index.html
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function serviceListener():void
{
var tempXML:XMLList = charXML.lastResult.character as XMLList;
var localXML:XML =
character
data\u00A9/data
labelInverted Exclamation Mark/label
/character;
test1.htmlText = localXML.data;
test2.htmlText = \u00A9; // string
test3.htmlText = tempXML.data;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HTTPService
url="">xml
