Special Characters

I’ve been looking on several fourms but have yet to find the answer to how to fix special characters. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place but if someone could point me there. I looked at the fourm on kirupa but it didn’t solve my problem. Right know my dynamic text has & a p o s; in it. My xml file is encoding=“UTF-8” and I used System.useCodepage = true; but still no luck. I also embedding my font. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks.
