Unicode

After visiting the Unicode website, I realized that most of the characters aren't accepted by the general browser. Is there a reason for this?

Does this page help? http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html

 

It is listed on the page that you cited.

I still think that you should consider the settings of your browser. If you have an old browser, you might consider updating.

 

Try the page http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html, and see if these several types of example characters are readable.

I can only see Latin and Greek characters. I'm not sure what version of IE I have, or what the current version is.

You can go to the Help menu and select About Internet Explorer. I never use Internet Explorer, and see that my version, version 6, only gets about 2/3 of the character types, which is still more than you.

 

Anyway, I recommend that you go to netscape.com or to firefox.com and download Netscape or Firefox. I recomment Firefox. They are free, and I like them much more than Internet Explorer. My firefox and netscape browsers can read all of the character types except for the Anglo-Saxon/Norse types.

 

Other than that, I am sorry but I am out of ideas.

i believe it is because unicode is a relatively new thing and so some browsers cant support all of it.

 

if you go to charachter map...

start>all programs>accessories>system tools>charachter map

(or at least thats what it is for me)

then you can see all of the charachters you'll ever need.
