That's so cool!

From:

if only the 'snow' symbol worked under Firefox, I could award myself a ...

UNIQUE AND SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE.

Dammit.

☂ OK, ☃ not.

From:

there's a mystery character between OK and not.

Very good for Hëävy Mëtäl Ümläüts.

From:

named characters! how ... common ☺

From:

zotz

Easier to remember, though. Reference pages are good, but mnemonics are better.

From:

ni!

(or should I say ∋?)

From:

It has its own character these days?

From:

Only, in Firefox, it just looks like a question mark. Huh.

From:

using Firefox here too! (1.0.7) I think it's the extended character set so older versions might not like it ...

From:

though, oddly, some of the characters don't show up, even in that page I linked to. But only some! ☣ is fine, ☤ isn't ... (which may mean nothing to you!)

From:

Am getting "some! is fine, isn't ..."

Interesting.

From:

exactly the same here: but what I typed was
But only some! ☣ is fine, ☤ isn't ...

From:

aaargh. The bloody preview mode worked.

<& # 9763 ; > is fine, < & # 9764 > isn't ...

From:

Heheh. I got the code in the comment email, not to worry.

It isn't, by the way, that I can't see any character entities. The more usual / popular / common ones show up fine.

From:

Me too. I get a white skull and crossbones but it does display!

1.5.0.1

From:

I want my unique and special snowflake, and the first person who explains why I can't have it will get a Prize.

From:

I can see something in the comment above, is that supposed to be <☃>?

Code: ☃

From:

Screwed that up. Anyway, it looks like a cartoon cat to me!

From:

It's a snowman!

From:

if you're pointing at the same thing as I am, it's a biohazard symbol! <g>

☣

But what I can't get is anything between the two dashes:
-☃-

From:

I see a biohazard symbol and then a snowman.

From:

I'm fascinated by your snowman, because I ...

pauses to giggle inanely at what she is typing

... can't see it! And I'd assumed it would just be a snow symbol, the branchy asterisky thing ...

From:

HTH!

From:

*applause*

jealous now!

From:

I'm still only seeing large question marks in Firefox 1.5.0.1. In IE, I can see lots of empty boxes. Must be an OS thing, then. I spose...

From:

I'm using Windows XP.

From:

What are you running? Linux (Ubuntu) here ...

From:

Win XP Pro (SP1)

From:

Huh. I have 1.5.0.1 on Win XP Pro (SP1). Tried it out in IE6 as well, and it looked like an empty square-ish box then. What's it sposed to be?

From:

see updated post with screenshot!
clue: arrrrrrr

Though the empty squarish box sounds about right -- I'm trying to do checklists in HTML without using an input-box-that-isn't ...

From:

Arrrr! *g* Well, it's a complete mystery to me why I can't see any of the symbols. Some kind of OS thing, maybe. Bzuh*.

* That would be my 'oh, I give up' noise.

I though the point was that she could do different sizes of question marks, since that's what I see in Firefox 1.5.0.1.

From:

see edited version

From:

That's the same version I'm using and I can see them all!

From:

IT'S NOT FAIR.

If you go to that page I linked, are there any you can't see?

From:

Some are very small and blurry, but they're all there.

Intriguing. I tried changing the character encoding (View -> Character Encoding and then select), but nothing made a significant difference. I'm running W2K here, so it might be OS. Or I suppose it could be to do with installed fonts.
