Special Character Font Problem

I'm trying to use the ascii code for a "down arrow" which is "↓"

It displays fine in my DESIGN VIEW within FrontPage, but when I preview it
with my browser, it doesn't show.

Is there a trick to force ascii codes to render correctly in a browser? It's
not a font issue, I tried viewing it with a dozen different fonts to no
avail.
FONT: ↓

Do you have URL? It seems to work fine in Opera, FF and IE. Perhaps there
is something else that is causing it not to work.

Why would one expect this to be a ASP issue, gazing into your crystal ball?
