  1. Save your XML file specifically as UTF-8 from a proper text editor.
  2. Make sure you use a Unicode-capable font for displaying your text. If you choose an uncommon font or want to ensure everyone with a Flash player can see the text, be sure to embed the font in your SWF.

Keep in mind embedding fonts increases the SWF its size. The size report you can generate when publishing will tell you by exactly how much.
