TEXT "© xxx" does not work consistently with GD and AGG

[woodbri]

Using gd the declaration "©"renders the "copyright"-Sign:

LAYER
  NAME "copyright"
  REQUIRES ..
  ...

  FEATURE
     POINTS
      3 10
     END
   END
   
 ...

  CLASS
    TEXT "© xxx"
    LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT 'arial'
      SIZE 9
      POSITION cr
      COLOR 0 0 0
      OUTLINECOLOR  255 255 254
    END
  END
 
END # LAYER

But using agg, the text ""© xxx" is rendered in the map.

Please lokk at the examples !

Does anybody know, how to render the html-code like done in gd ?

Does anybody know another way to render signs like "copyright" with gd ?

Thanks very much

This may be related to ticket #2600 (or not?)

Jeff McKenna provided this work around on the list:

What about using your operating system's character set? For example on windows pressing ALT-0169 gives the copyright sign, and on MAC pressing OPTION-G. So your mapfile snippet is: TEXT "©"
