Web Companion and special characters

[sburch]

I have developed an online progress report which stores student grades in an FMP database. Teachers have requested a checkmark as one of the progress indicators. I can't seem to get the checkmark to transfer from the web into the FMP database as a checkmark. It turns into an A with a ~ above it.

Does anyone have scripting suggestions?

You may need to use some Javascript to convert special characters to Escape sequences.

How are you creating the Checkmark?

All the best.
