Hey All,

Not to sure where to post this so maybe a Mod could move it if need be.

Does anyone know how I get FireFox to display rare characters, IE does display them. (note I can't use/convert to character reference ie: ⚖)

here is some code, FireFox shows question marks in place of the characters.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html>

Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Thanks.
