ReportEngine rendering (R) character as '?'

I am running a report engine in a UNIX environment and the HTML that is produced displays the "registered" character (in a Text element) as a "?". I tried switching fonts from Trebucht MS to Times New Roman, but it still produces the same output.

When I escape it using ® , the engine escapes the ampersand as well and the output becomes ® .

Is there a way for me to write the exact characters "®" into the HTML without javascript? (when i use document.write("&#174"), the Eclipse previewer messes up)

Try this: ® Should work.

Nope, that didn't work.

It looks like the ampersand gets escaped in the rptdesign file but the (R) character does not. This prevents me from writing &#174 in HTML, which the browser would then correctly render (R).
