Would it be possible to get a list of browsers that DO display this correctly?

Thank you,

Reni

You convert U+hhhh to &#ddddd; i.e. from hexadecimal to decimal. For
your example, this would be &#8480;
Please note that currently there are only very few browsers that will display
this correctly, but that there is wide agreement that this is the way to go.
For details, please see draft-ietf-html-i18n-04.txt.
