I want to show special characters in flash

I have taken a dynamic text field with HTML property = true;

Some of the characters are working fine. But some of the special characters are not. For example the angle symbol “∠” is not working.

I found out the Decimal code for angle symbol (∠) and used it. It is working fine if I don’t embed the font but when we embed the font (even with all the characters that flash support), it is not working.

I am using the following code

```auto
abc_txt.htmlText="&#8736; abc"

```
