I can't seem to get the Copyright symbol to display with Myriad Pro. The font embeds properly and displays fine, just the © symbol won't show up. I've tried:

- Embedding an swf with the font embedded in it with the '©' set to be included, when I export it the symbol is there.

- Embedding the otf file for the typeface.

- Tried embedding other typefaces otf files.


Actionscript Code:
FontEmbed.as: 

[Embed(source='fonts/myriad/MyriadPro-Semibold.otf', fontWeight='semibold', fontFamily = "Myriad Pro", mimeType='application/x-font')]
public static var MyriadSemibold:Class; 

public function FontEmbed()
{
      Font.registerFont(MyriadSemibold);
} 

public static var MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Myriad Pro Semibold", 24, 0x000000, false, false);

Actionscript Code:
Footer.as

legalCopy = '©2010 Earthcolor. All rights reserved.';
legal = label(legalCopy);

private function label(str:String):Sprite
{
      var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();
      var format:TextFormat = FontEmbed.MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD;
      format.size = 11;
      format.color = 0x555555;
            
      var tf:TextField = new TextField();
      tf.embedFonts = true;
      tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
      tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
      tf.multiline = false;
      tf.selectable = false;
      tf.gridFitType=GridFitType.NONE;
      tf.defaultTextFormat = format;
      tf.text = str.toUpperCase();
      cont.addChild(tf);
      return cont;
}


I get the full line of text, so it seems like it's an embedding issue. Any thoughts?
