Question

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?

How are they added in the FM content to begin with? That might give a clue as to why they are being filtered out.


Alt codes where used. I am not getting this problem on a different computer could it have been the fonts on that system?
