Stefan, If you go to: http://www.geocities.com/i18nguy/unicode-example-plane1.html
and you download and install the font from James Kass: http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2001.ZIP you can display the plane 1 characters in the page. IE likes plane 1 characters only as NCRs (&#xXXXXX;). Some of the other browsers prefer only utf-8 and not NCRs. hth tex Stefan Persson wrote: > > I've noticed some strange things with plane 1 characters: > > * When I make a UTF-8 document and open it in Internet Explorer 5.5 under > Windows 98, each letter is displayed as *two* square boxes.
