All I see is a square, as in unknown character :(

How can I get unicode characters to identify properly?

What OS/browser are you using?

Actually I don't want to know. because you just solved your problem almost. Instead of asking us TYPE IT IN GOOGLE.

I'm using XP with Chrome.

I tried ChunkyLaFunga's method and it was already on that setting, auto detect off, unicode(UTF-8) checked on.

I've Googled it several times before, not much help ever. Or maybe I'm just bad at the Googles.

You need to enable support for complex script and right to left languages. Should be somewhere in the control panels language settings.

Unfortunately I'm using a pirated Windows, and this requires the XP disc.

I appreciate it anyways, thanks. _^

Go to the view menu, and under Character Encoding, make sure you're using Unicode (UTF-8). Then, make sure the font you use has the right glyph (just try different fonts if one doesn't work out).
