Default Access to Word Mail Merge; symbols change to question marks

Hello,

I have an access database in which I store a bunch of science terms and
definitons. Increasingly, I find that my definitions require symbols (ex:
delta, gamma, sigma, etc. I merge the database with Word to make flashcards.

Note:
(1) I've been using Arial font.
(2) When inputting the symbols, I don't just change that character to the
"symbol font." I use the character map.

The Problem: When I merge the database to Word, the characters appear as
question marks.

Could anyone tell me if there is a solution out there?

Thanks
