I tried to just assign the htmlText of a field placed on the stage at run time and — didn't work, but the others did. I'm guessing that it just isn't recognized.
Why don't you just use the actual character in your text. If you save as UTF-8 you don't need to use the fancy html codes for any of those things — unless of course you have < > which will confuse the XML into thinking there is another node. In that case you need to use CDATA to wrap your text entries. -
