IE5.5 under Win98 displays non-BMP characters if:

* The document is encodes as "User Defined,"
* The non-BMP characters are encoded as NCRs, and
* A font containing the glyphs is specified using the <font> command.

Under all other circumstances, the characters are displayed as one or two
square boxes.
