I'm looking at the DLM code Ian mentioned because I'd put it into my J
script where I re-wrote it in J. I'd hoped to show people here the great
similarity between the APL and J versions. It might be easier to install
an APL interpreter in order to display it properly. Emacs seems to handle
Unico
I suspect emacs should support unicode, but emacs must run
inside a terminal emulator (or less likely, under framebuffer),
so it depends on how fonts are supported inside the terminal
emulator.

Is it APL text that has been converted to unicode and displayed in a
browser?
I'd guess not, because you say you have no difficulty displaying APL
characters in general

My PC is quite new and has no problem displaying APL characters in
general. It's just that when I look at a piece of APL code I have in an
emacs session, everything but the lamp shows up correctly for a number of
fonts.

David is right. Adrian Smith's APL385, based on Comic Sans, used to be the
reference standard for cross-platform APLs using TrueType fonts. Most
up-to-date monospaced fonts should have Lamp: '⍝' --e.g. AndaleMono (what I
use on my iMac), Courier, FreeMono or Monaco.

Not a J question but someone here might know what font I can use to get all

I can get almost all of them with many fonts, except for the "lamp"
