I have tested three browsers with the example page <http://www.geocities.com/i18nguy/unicode-example-plane1.html>, which comprises NCRs of plane 1 characters. I have used Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 [German] (Build 2600.xpclient.010817-1148). I had installed the Code2001 font, and set the three registry keys described in that example page. Results: - MS Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.0000.xpclient.010817-1148 [German]: All plane-1 characters are displayed, in the correct writing direction. - Opera version 6.0, Build 101 [German] without Java support: The plane-1 characters are not correctly displayed; rather, a row of boxes is displayed (only recognizable in 120% zoom, or larger). There are roughly (but not exactly) 2 boxes per plane-1 character, viz: "Rasna" -> 12 boxes, "Aulesi" -> 15 boxes, "Metelis" -> 13 boxes (judging from the word separator, which is displayed correctly); "Utah","Brigham", "Young", "�izai", "�iudangardjai", "�ize", "Gutane", and "Wulfila" all have exactly twice as many boxes as there are characters in these words. The writing direction is correct. - Netscape 6.2 [English]: The Deseret characters are replaced with Cyrillic ones; the Etruscan and Gothic words are replaced with some unrecognicable blots (possibly some glyphs overlayed). The writing direction is correct. This means that Opera 6.0 does not display plane-1 characters, in all environments. On the Opera download pages, I could not find anything dubbed "6.01b".
