Odd Font Characters

There are many characters that are either reserved for special HTML meanings (such as '>') or just non-standard. Therefore I have included a table of them below (the complete set of lists [in hexadecimal form, can convert to decimal here] and a list of character entity references, are also available).
An Arabic Set is included for completeness.
To get the HTML number for the symbols, simply refer to the column on the left and the top row. For example, taking the '‰' character, it is in the 13th row, 7th column. This gives it a value of 137, and therefore you'll use ‰ to get it.
Remember: Some of these characters will not display correctly in Firefox/Camino/Flock/SeaMonkey/Netscape/etc or in I.E. as these particular browsers are unable to correctly identify them or process them. This is because the former are all based on the same Mozilla Gecko Engine and the latter on the Trident Engine, neither of which appear to render web content properly . . . whereas Safari/OmniWeb/Shiira which use WebCore, Opera which uses Presto, iCab which uses iCab . . . etc etc (in fact, all the other 6 alternative layout engines) manage to work fine!
As an example, take character 8679. EVERY normal browser will display it as an "empty up arrow" a.k.a. the "shift" key. The MGE/Trident browsers, however, are the only ones that instead display a "T" like symbol or a box! Referring to the official list via the link above, confirms that they are wrong....it should indeed be a "shift" symbol (the list even classifies it correctly under the "Arrows" subheading - so that's what you should be seeing). Further proof of MGE's/Trident's inadequecies comes from seeing if your browser passes the acid test, something which those browsers fail miserably at!
So try to use any non-MGE/non-Trident browser you can if you want to view this chart correctly ;).
