Re: non-standard characters

The first one makes a square, the second gives a W but with the wrong
type of stress. Thanks anyway.

Thanks but I'm none the wiser, now how do I write a flat sign in a web
page

Well he told you, although actually there does seem to be a small error..

He suggested:

In practice, though, if you use, say,
<span class="special">&#266d;</span>
with the CSS rule
.special { font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode; }
then most visitors will see the flat sign. Others will see some box or
question mark.

That should be &#x266d;... You need the x because 266d is a
hexadecimal number.

And a very nice shape too:

(OP should use span in his context, unlike here)

For those of you with MacIE 5 on Macs, some surprising behaviour as you
change text size in browser. All this, by the way.
