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).
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.
