I guess you have the wrong font, or something.

Since when do we get to pick what font is visible?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, I think that, when it runs across something it needs Unicode for, it switches to whatever font your browser is set to use. Because those characters show up fine for me, but I don't think Trebuchet MS actually has them.

Yeah, you have to switch to a Unicode-compatible font to properly see them in IE.

And how would one go about doing that? Since changing the page encoding from Western European to Unicode did bugger all.

Changing the page encoding scheme to Unicode will obviously do nothing if you don't also change the page font to one that can display Unicode characters. Which you can do somewhere under Internet Options. Which is located at the bottom of the Tools menu. Which can be pulled down from that bar at the top of your browser window. Go there now, and ask me not such silly questions.

Wierd. Two different computers at work, set up the same way, showed it two different ways, both incorrectly. Of course I was using IE at work. Using Mozilla here at home, it showed up perfectly, and it's not currently set to using Unicode.

Mozilla seems to compensate automatically. I changed the font that it uses for Unicode from Arial Unicode to Lucida Sans Unicode, and looked again at the post where I tried to make the symbol. The small one did change slightly. Although, the larger one didn't, oddly. So, I don't know.
