Down Arrow In Firefox/Safari

[liquidstar]

I have a form allows a user to input date ranges. I also have a calendar function that allows users to click on a button and see the calendar and pick the date. Right now, I'm using wingdings to get a down arrow look (like this: \/ but cleaner).

The problem is, it doesn't display in firefox or safari. I guess they're limited to (but I don't know for a fact) iso-latin1 which doesn't have a down arrow.

Is there a character I can use, and if not, any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

What code are you using? In my experience, Firefox actually supports a lot more characters than IE (for instance ∨, ⊔, or ˇ; try browsing through [theorem.ca...] in either browser).

thanks, i'll look through those. i'm kind of looking for what you have in your examples, but a solid filled in arrow instead of the one that looks like a V

Re: decaff's link, Every one of those arrows are visible in Safari until you get to "RIGHT ARROW WITH SMALL CIRCLE" then that one and the rest are not visible.
