Expanding this question from fossil-dev to fossil-users after more reports of problems.
Apparently some unicode arrow characters (U+2b06, U+2b07, and U+21f3) are not displaying properly on many peoples systems, though they work fine on every machine and browser I have at hand. Web-experts: What am I doing wrong? And what can I use as an alternative? Those characters are used to show sorting on column headers on the http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/brlist page. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Hipp <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 12:11:56 -0500 Subject: Troubles rendering some unicode characters? To: fossil-dev <[email protected]> At http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/brlist there are characters on the column labels that indicate sorting. The characters used are u+2b06, u+2b07, and u+21f3. These render perfectly for me on Linux, Max, Win7, and Win8, using FF, Chrome, IE, Safari, and Opera. And yet some people are reporting they are getting crazy non-arrow characters in those places. Can anybody reproduce the reported problem? Suggested fixes? -- D. Richard Hipp [email protected] -- D.
