There are also scalable fonts which have this glyph. The attached HTML file shows that on my Linux system, scalable fonts containing U+27E8..U+27E9 are available to both mozilla and konqueror. Your system may be different, of course. > Anyway, widely using a glyph present in just 1 font family seems risky. No. All modern free GUI toolkits on X11 use the Xft library (as opposed to the old "fontset" technique), which knows how to choose glyphs from the right font. With Xft, it is enough to have a single scalable font with U+27E8 in it, to get it displayed right in most situations. Bruno
