Show right arrow character in Mozilla and Opera?

I am trying to take some very MS-specific HMTL and make it work in
Mozilla and Opera. I see that there is a character that shows as a
right arrow in IE that shows as an R in a circle in Moz and Opera.

Here's excerpt that generates the right arrow in IE.

<span
style='font-size:small;font-family:Symbol;mso-ascii-font-family:"Verdana";
mso-hansi-font-family:"Verdana";mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:
Symbol'><span style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'>®</span></span>


Anyone know how to get that character in Moz? Is there some way to
specify a Unicode character number perhaps?

Shows the R in a circle in my Win IE6.0.

What arrow? What does it look like?

Always a bad idea when making documents for the Web.

Making it pretend like an arrow does not make it an arrow.

It's character #174, which is the R-in-a-circle sign. As usual, MSIE
hacks and coughs its way through the standards. Character 174 in the
Microsoft Windows Symbol font is indeed a single-barred right-
pointing arrow, but that is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to HTML.

That said, most browsers (including, I think, MSIE) will give you
the desired character if you replace
[color=blue]
><span style='font-size:small;font-family:Symbol;mso-ascii-font-family:"Verdana";
> mso-hansi-font-family:"Verdana";mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:
> Symbol'><span style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'>®</span></span>[/color]

with

→

(The semicolon is required.) Get rid of all that symbol-font-span
cr-p.

Alan Wood's terrific page
<http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/demos/wgl4.html> lists that and many
other character numbers.

Amazing! Which program generates this b^H stuff?

<http://www.google.com/search?q=mso-hansi-font-family>
has over 40*000 hits. Mmm ...


To answer your question:
<http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/mathematics.html>
works even with Netscape 4.0 on Macintosh, MS Windows, Unix.
