No MathML in Explorer... yet...
If it's really important, and if it's really a strictly controlled
browser environment, use could be made of specialized fonts that
include any desired symbols. If they're not in Unicode they could
be assigned to some private use area and special fonts be designed
for the purpose. All users must have these fonts installed. Style
sheets can be used to indicate the display font.
If the characters are in Unicode the font "Arial Unicode MS"
(part of Office 2000) have them.
