Entering the following string (by copy/pasting) Ἁγία Σοφία into Flex2 TextInput would result in the string displayed incorrectly. The first character of the string would appear as square. However, as the String is passed around its not being corrupted.
Copying the string from the TextInput and pasting it into Notepad would show that. Also, once the string makes it to the back-end of my app and then to the DB it also appears uncorrupted. Is this a bug in Flex (or probably Flash 9) or is there something that I can do about?
