html 5 output greater than character

I am getting question marks for some characters in my HTML 5 output. Some of the characters are ≤ and β. These characters are supported in HTML 5. Is there there some reason that they are not converting or being represented correctly in HTML5 output?

Concur with Jeff that unpopulated codepoints in the font are the most likely explanation.

Are the codes points U+2264 for the ≤ and U+03B2 for the β?

If not, then you have the [further] problem of using an overlay/codepage font. Historically, these characters were rendered by applying the "Symbol" font to code points \xa3 and \x62, but I'd expect the render-fail to show them as £ and b in that case.

What font are they in? Maybe that's the issue when converted to HTML.

They are in Times New Roman, is there a font that will work with these characters?

The Unicode vintage of TNR populates U+2264 and U+03B2, per the Win7 system I run.

The legacy version of it (probably pre Windows XP) probably doesn't.

Of course, with HTML, there's a dependency on the viewing system fonts, and whether the browser there checks for missing codepoints, and does silent substitutions, or just tosses ?s.
