Eric,
I believe you need the font Lucida Sans Unicode...
Well I finally took the time to check and I have this font loaded.
Any other thoughts? -
Are you able to see the character displayed on the table at the url I posted earlier (which was http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/seminar/fonts/lucida.htm, character 5654, at the bottom)?
I have many other thoughts, but they are either irrelevant or unsuitable.

@unknownuser said:
The issue is not just the font, but also the browser. If you view the index in Internet Exploder then you see a square. If you view in FireFox then you see a triangle.
Not so, Coen. I use IE6 at work and IE7 at home and I see the character on both.

Same here, I have I.E. with XP here at work and I see the triangle.
Gully, I will look tonight on my home computer for the square on your link.
Thanks.

Well Gully, I don't even see a character number 5654. They start with 03x and go to 983x. Maybe I am dense but I just don't understand what you want me to look for.

Slightly OT (sorry)
I'm over three years out with the Fox, but there's one nagging thing..
I'm a Hotmail guy from waa--a-y-y-y long time back, and Firefox will not let me use the html option on email.
I HATE that!. It just aint' right, having to start up IE browser just to use Hotmail's extra features.Okay, I'm done-- aplogies for rambling

Reg,
I'm not exactly sure about this but most probably Firefox is not blocking anything. It must be Hotmail that is programmed in a way that you cannot use all its functions but from an IE browser. It often happens that some web developers do not care with/for cross-platform or cross-browser compatibility.
BTW - who "owns" hotmail nowadays?
Have you ever heard of such accusations of "those" (name not to be mentioned now) big firms? -

Eric, the "x" represents the column number in the table. So character 9654 is in the cell located at Column 4 of Row 965x.

Well now that I know it is 9654 I see where to look. Thanks.
There is no 5654.Edit. Your first post with the link said 9654 and your second said 5654, sorry I misunderstood.
On my computer at home 9654 is a square on the site you posted.
Edit. On my computer at work 9654 is a triangle.

Now we're getting somewhere. I have formulated a considered opinion and a proposed solution:
Your computer at home is a POS. You should replace it immediately.
Glad to help.

Replace it because of one glitch... no thanks.
Thanks for the concern however
