Firefox 3.6.8 seems to have an issue with Unicode in input fields, e.g. The following code <input type="text" value="ᕿᓂᕐᓂᖅ..." style="font-family:Pigiarniq"> should look more or less the same as <input type="text" value="ei3i6..." style="font-family:AiPaiNunavik">

The first one uses a Unicode font (available at http://www.gov.nu.ca/english/font/) the second one one of the traditional non-unicode fonts.

The two squares in the first string are not really squares. When you copy and paste the string onto a system with a unicode font containing canadian syllabic characters, then the squares are displayed correctly.

Additional information: I just found that this is not related to input fields, as I thought in the beginning, but also happens within normal Ps or DIVs. Strangely enough, the following complete HTML seems to work when saving as a local file: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style>body{font-family:Arial,Pigiarniq;}</style>

ᕿᓂᕐᓂᖅ

ᕿᓂᕐᓂᖅ

a real unicode font:

<input type="text" value="ᕿᓂᕐᓂᖅ..." style="font-family:Pigiarniq">

a non-unicode font:

<input type="text" value="ei3i6..." style="font-family:AiPaiNunavik">

and opend within this same browser session in another tab. In my current browser session, I see two different renditions of the string: - on this support form submission page, the string is incorrectly displayed (with two squares) as on the webpage which is currently under development - in another tab, the above mentioned HTML file displays all instances of the string correctly.

(A) is what I see on this webpage (Firefox support form submission page)

(B) is what I see within the same browser instance in another tab, viewing the above HMTL code

(C) is what happens on the webpage under development. A and C show the same strange behaviour.

Opera, Safari on Windows and IE display it correctly.

Thanks for any hints,
