Well I had temporarily confused ࣕ with legal java hex, 0x2261. I
meant to say "System.out.write(0x2261)"
Bringing up the "�" representation is a good idea, but html character
entities should be decimal numbers and "\u2261" converted from hex to
decimal is 8801.
Originally, I highly doubted that something as high as 8801 was doable as
an HTML character entity. According to "Webmaster in a Nutshell", these
HTML character entities must be ISO-8859-1 characters, and not even the
full 256 ISO-8859-1 character set is supported.
However I checked anyway and "≡" works great --just to show how
accurate a book from June 99 is. I ran:
for(int i=0x2200; i<=0x22ff; i++)
{
if ( i % 16 == 0 ) out.println("<tr>");
out.print("<td>&#"+i+";");
}
To print the entire "Unicode Mathematical Operators" set. About 1/4
displayed in Internet Explorer 6.0, and the full set displayed in Netscape
6.1 and Opera 6.0.
So it looks like 'System.out.println("&8801;");' is the solution as you
said.
