I am having some issues in trying to get certain unicode characters to show up when trying to type. It seems that no matter what I do I can't get them to appear outside of certain specific places.
The two characters that I am trying to get show up are:
and
The Japanese archaic katakana e and Japanese archaic hiragana ye. In unicode they are in the Kana Supplement block.
You can find them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kana_Supplement
I can't seem to get these characters to show up outside of these instances:
- In firefox when hardware acceleration disabled (and only when it is disabled)
- This webpage: http://www.akenotsuki.com/eyeben/font/unicode.html
The second webpage works even when hardware acceleration in firefox is enabled.
Here's what I've tried to do to resolve the issue:
- Installing & reinstalling proper fonts
- Rebooting the computer
- Clearing the font cache
- Setting the system locale to Japanese (hey, it was worth a shot)
None of which has worked. Can someone please help me? I want to get this to resolve itself especially because I want to be able to use this in Photoshop.
