This was prompted by someone someone here posting a unicode character. Apparently this system I’m using (Windows) doesn’t have a font that contains this emoticon if you can see it ( 😃 ) or such characters, and instead displays a number-in-a-box for those who can’t see it (graphic with magnified view for readability):
And it’s not just here, but anywhere.
Has anyone solved such problem with a recommended font that carries these proper symbols?
