I put the HTML equivalent ♬ of unicode character code \u266C into my HTML (This is defined as Beamed Sixteenth notes though for my purposes any musical note character will do.)
When I look at the web page on one of my PCs in IE 6.0, the notes are properly displayed. However, when I look at the same page on my second PC in IE 7.0, the notes are not displayed (I get the little boxes instead).
But Firefox (3.0.3) on the same second PC does display the unicode musical notes correctly.
What am I doing wrong with the Unicode characters. I could circumvent this by using an image of a musical note but that's a lot of extra coding. Shouldn't this unicode work in all versions of all web browsers? Or am I not understanding something basic about using Unicode.
Thanks
