I have a web page
http://www.llas.ac.uk/resources/good...esourceid=2662
that uses several different utf-8 alphabets other than the usual Roman one.
When I view it in Firefox 2.0 from my own PC they all display correctly. If I use IE6.0, the Chinese characters are still OK, but the phonetic alphabet characters come up with the "unknown" square symbol. Other browsers and other machines display various results, none or more of the following: - no phonetic alphabet characters
- no Chinese characters
- no Greek alphabet characters
I've submitted the page to Total Validator http://www.totalvalidator.com
via their Firefox tool plug-in and viewed the screen shots for FF2.0, IE6.0 and IE5.5, none of them show all of the special characters.
So is the problem PC related or browser related?
If it's PC than why does it work in my FF2 and not completely in my IE6?
If it's browser, why does it work in my FF2 and not completely in Total Validator's copy of FF2?
Is there some setting or meta tag I've left out?
What does it look like on a Mac? under Linux? Windows other than XP Pro?
Yes I know that there's an ∫ instead of decimal entity 643 at one point in the code! |
