I’m loading some XML into a dynamic text field and I need to be able to display a few special characters like the trademark symbol and em dash:

```auto
<answer>Apple™ Records</answer>

```

Naturally the textfield is created programmatically and I’m embeddeding shared Arial fonts from the Library.

What’s the method for displaying these special characters in AS 3?
