chr() is deprecate in favour of String.fromCharCode() since Player 5.

textObject.text = String.fromCharCode(61657) + "Dec 31, 2005";

Create two Label objects and place them adjacent to each other.  The
first Label object would contain the special character in Webdings
font.

 <mx:Label text="{String.fromCharCode(61657)}" fontFamily="Webdings" />

Or you could use a plain old htmlText:

  <mx:Text>
    <mx:htmlText>
      <![CDATA[
      <font face="webdings">&#61675;</font>Dec 31, 2005
      ]]>
    </mx:htmlText>
  </mx:Text>
