inserting unicode check mark character works strangely when published to html5?

I am inserting a check mark character found in the Arial script in an unordered list in order to generate an HTML5 version of my document. While the character works great in the normal textflow, it won't show up properly in the list, where I have put it into the numbering field. Same character but for some reason FrameMaker seems to treat it differently. Can't figure out what is happening in the conversion process, that causes this

    So this is: U+2714 HEAVY CHECK MARK [✔]
    That's Unicode SMP, so FM supports it.

    And it's only failing when used in the numbering spec for an autonumber format?
    What is the font family for ¶format, and is any character format applied in the AN construct?
    And if you copy the resulting glyph out of the HTML5 output, and paste it into any of several web tools for reporting codepoints, just what is it? (the raw markup around it might be interesting as well)

      Hi @Bob_Niland Thank you for your quick answer which gave me a hint to what went wrong.

      In the Style Mapping dialogue I had asked FrameMaker to convert the bullet points to List. Apparently that takes my use of bullet characters into another css file where I have NOT been using ✔. Changing that setting back to "Convert to Text" made it work.

      Another three hours om life crowned with the success of adding a ✔ 🙂 Thanks for your good advice.
