I am having a problem with how the adobe flash player encodes characters.

I am using a text to speech program and need to copy and paste the words into it to hear what is written.

I was wondering what encoding does it use because not all of the characters copy correctly.

when you copy and paste the selected text strange characters appear instead of the proper letters which screws up the text to speech process resulting in a jumbled mess and pauses which is really un usable.  I was considering writing a program to take the text (in raw form) and try to translate it into a more useble format to modify the data into a usable format.  Is there a way to change the encoding on the users end to UTF-8 or just to straight ANSI?
