Here is an updated character list. I have marked characters that don't display correctly in either FF, IE6 or FBReader in red. The characters that didn't display correctly in the Palm emulator with Mobipocket are marked in green. Note that in FF/IE6/FBReader I used the standard fonts Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, as these are the most common on the PC. On the Palm emulator, I used whatever the default font was.

It would be interesting to see what results others get on different operating systems and using different reader software. In fact, it would be particularly interesting to see what the results are on dedicated readers.

If you would like to try this and report back, just list which characters did not display correctly. Please include the operating system you are using, the font you are using (let's stick to the default sans-serif, serif and monospaced fonts on your system) and the reading software. For dedicated readers, just the reader model and font should be sufficient.

If we could get a good cross-section of responses, it would be helpful to know which characters we can count on being supported in our ebooks across platforms.
