On the use of some MS Windows characters in HTML On the use of some MS Windows characters in HTML , or Windows Latin 1, contains, in addition to characters, some special characters like em dash, trademark symbol, and asymmetric quote characters. A Web author who works in a Windows environment may not realize that by using such characters he creates problems to some users. Typically, if an author naively types a trademark symbol, a browser running on Unix or some other non-Windows system may display a blank instead of the trademark symbol, or something worse. This document explains this problem in some detail and outlines various solutions.
