Hi,

I am loading a text var. It works fine but I have two characters that will not load.

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]é[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]é[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1] **é** [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]lowercase e, acute accent[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]ê[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]ê[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1] **ê** [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif][SIZE=1]lowercase e, circumflex accent[/SIZE][/FONT]  
On the Adobe page these charatcers are %E1 and %EA. But they do not work. I tired other charecters such as the “~” (tilda) and that worked fine.

Any Ideas?
