UTF-8

Hi,
I am facing a problem to convert text into UTF-8 encoding scheme in Flex. since the web-service which consumes this text, works only with UTF-8 encoding scheme.

my text is:- "å, ä och" and it's equivalent UTF-8 string is :- "Ã¥, ä och"

but I'm not able to get equivalent UTF-8 string. it gives me same text "å, ä och"

so, How can I convert it into UTF-8?

I am Using Flex.

Thanks.
