According to the web, ASCII character 184 is supposed to be ©. When doing:

..it gives me a comma-like symbol instead.

This approach displays the © symbol, but theres an  in front of it.


Any ideas?

While I don't know exactly what's going on there (I had the same results when trying your way), I went into Character Map and got the hexadecimal for the character. This seems to work for me:

Print( Chr( 0xA9 ) )

I just looked at the extended bitmap fonts I did and the © is ASCII number 0169 so try chr(169)

in fact to type this © I pressed and held the alt key then typed 0169 on the numpad.

I think you might not have a proper ascii chart.

I hope this helps.

Oh and feel free to grab the free extended bitmap font in the showcase thread.

Cheers!

EDIT: I just booted up AppGameKit and tried..

Print("Special Characters:"+chr(169))

and it gave me the copyright symbol.

Note: this was with the default AppGameKit font, not one of mine.
