Oh man.. every time I try to embed a character in flex its a real pain, I forget where I found the info and which sets correspond to what.. so after some searching I found this page, many of you probably know the site, but I didn’t know they had this info posted there.

map of unicode characters:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/index.htm

and for some more in depth info on each code:
http://www.decodeunicode.org/

oh and how to forget wikipedia :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Extended

so what is this for? you can embed specific unicode sets on your CSS of a flex app like in this example:


@font-face {
src:url("Calibri.ttf");
fontFamily: Calibri;
unicode-range:
U+0020-U+0040, /* Punctuation, Numbers */
U+0041-U+005A, /* Upper-Case A-Z */
U+005B-U+0060, /* Punctuation and Symbols */
U+0061-U+007A, /* Lower-Case a-z */
U+007B-U+007E, /* Punctuation and Symbols */
U+0080-U+00FF, /* C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement */
U+00A2-U+00A5, /* Cent sign Pound sign Currency sign Yen sign */
U+20A0-U+20CF; /* curreny symbols */
}
