Is there a way to enable Unicode characters in all browsers on Windows XP?
- by Daniel Pietzsch
I'd like to use unicode symbols within my website (especially Dingbats).
Is there any way to enable this inside all (or at least some) browsers in Windows XP, without having the user to adjust any of his settings?
I use the HTML5 doctype with the charset configured to UTF-8:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
The browsers recognize the charset correctly (even IE7). But no special characters are displayed. I only see an empty square box.
This is the case for all of the following browsers: IE7, Safari 4, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4.1, Opera 10.51.
So, is there any way to configure to enable all (or most) unicode characters for browsers running on Windows XP?
