Just a guess. Some browsers have a setting to change the default font used for different languages/unicode ranges. If the default font set does not support these characters they may not display. I haven't touched this setting since around IE7 or so, so it may not exist any more. I just checked my FF, and this setting exists. A solution might be to specify the fonts used for the page, or at least for these characters. -- ˙uʍop-ǝpısdn sı ɹoʇıuoɯ ɹnoʎ 'sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟı
