I assume these characters are stored as unicode.
I am pretty sure that flash has some trouble with unicode, especialy if you are not using system fonts.
Take a look at the font embedding in your flash.

I mentioned font embedding. Did you check that?
Did you check what is the exact data going into flash?
if you are unable to find out what is going 'over the line' you might want to take a look at this tool:

I used it to great effect before and can recomend it to anyone that needs to do web debugging.

What version of zinc ?
http://www.multidmedia.com/support/bugs/?a...tail&id=253
if you use 3.06 or 3.07, try to display the stuff you get back with a Dialogs.prompt
If it then works properly you know that the problem is in your flash.

The power of google....

Then you know that either the flash frontend does not support the display of these unicode characters, or your database doesnt.
If you store them manualy into your database, do you see them back in your database tool?
And does the flash manage to get them out and display them?

Flash does support unicode, if you compile the characters into the flash and the font you use is supporting them.
You can try this by forst putting some unicode strings hardcoded in your flash and displaying them (for example in a dynamic textfield)
If you get that to work it should go with dynamic data from zinc.

Php outputs html, and that does not support unicode in the common sense of the word.
