Encoding toubles with some unicode characters on XP; C# + .NET

Question

Hi!

I am currently working on small application (C# + .NET 2.0, IDE is C# 08 Express) containing following characters: ¬, →, ↔, ⊥, ⊦ (copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_logic_symbols).

All works well on Vista (tested on my machine, Home Premium; and my friend's Ultimate), and Windows 7. However, on XP, some symbols are can't be displayed (squares appear instead). Interestingly, they do show in browser (tried with FF), but when copied to notepad - squares appear.

I've tried changing fonts, but problem reappears (Tahoma, Arial).

In regional settings, all computers have Croatian settings applied (as far as I know), so I doubt that's the problem (if they aren't Croatian - like on my PC's Vista Home P. - then they are English, which should also work).

Any idea what might be causing the problem/how to fix it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The font you are using does not contain the graphics of the characters. Try fonts with bigger size.

Answer 2

Could you suggest one? I tried lots of them, and none worked.

P.S. last two symbols in first post are uncorrectcly shown, they should look like "V" and reversed V (A without connection in middle) (symbols for logic AND and logic OR).
