Maybe you've got a font issue going on with the second field.  Some fonts
don't support/contain the character.

When I place the symbol into a field set to "geneva" (Mac OSX) and do "put
fld 1 into fld 2", it copies over fine.

Key combination appears to be option+shift+2 (again MacOS -- probably
different on Windows).
