html - ▾ and ✓ characters not showing up in IE8 -


im using ▾ , ✓ characters inputted user chant use full html value (something ✓).

these working fine in chrome, ff , ie9. in ie8 replaced square character (see image below).

enter image description here

when want unicode characters on ie8, use

<span class="unicode">unicode characters here</span> 

and

.unicode {     font-family: 'dejavu serif'; } @font-face {     font-family: 'dejavu serif';     src: url('fonts/dejavuserif.eot');     src:local('dejavu serif'),          local('dejavu serif book'),          url('fonts/dejavuserif.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),          url('fonts/dejavuserif.woff') format('woff'),         url('fonts/dejavuserif.ttf') format('truetype'),         url('fonts/dejavuserif.svg#font') format('svg'); } 

where dejavu fonts public domain fonts provide wider range of characters. can download .ttf fonts here, , convert them other types using online tools.
