Thank yoi for your bug report, the issue is probably rather one with the
font than one from the browser utility

** Package changed: gucharmap (Ubuntu) => fonts-freefont (Ubuntu)

Title:
  symbol U+240e seems to misrepresent the `Shift Out' character by `SS'
  instead of `SO'

Status in fonts-freefont package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hallo,

  A similar bug has been described (and repaired) earlier. See

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-freefont/+bug/1070669.

  I first encountered this typographical error on the website of
  Wikipedia (using the Firefox web browser)

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes

  when looking at the table representing ASCII control characters.

  U+240e ␎ Shift Out should probably be represented by `SO' and not
  `SS'. See for reference (as in the report referred to above) the
  following document on the Unicode website

  http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2400.pdf.

  This typographical error also seems to appear in other programs such
  as Libre Office Calc, the xfc4-terminal, chromium-browser. I am
  guessing it is visible in most, and possibly in all programs.

  Kind regards,
  Michael
