Does anyone know of any way i could 'teach' my IE into knowing how to display special characters? Like i would like to be able to type ∈ℕ to be able to see "is in N", like it should...

(("in" is @ "Mathematical Operators" under 2208hexa, and N is @ "Letterlike Symbols" under 2115hexa.))

ok thanks to 'Q' (aka 'Chad Frick') i started thinking about what font 'encoding' to use. None worked, so i abandoned that idea until i went to Word to see which font DOES support that character. It turned out i only had Lucida Sans Unicode installed available to view it, so i went back to IE, changed the 'User Defined' font encoding (through Tools - Options - General - Fonts) to use that LSansUni.TTF and, presto!, the page showed up correctly. Thanks a million, Q.

PS To view those two characters in this page you have to set 'Accessibility' to 'Ignore font styles specified on Web pages' besides using the UD encoding.
