As we can see SM is able to use and display the characters correctly for
nearly all fonts, but refuse it to do with Wingdings.

Well, I don't mean to be snippy, but if you're using Wingdings for Greek
and math symbols, the problem is not with the software.
Unicode has a very extensive collection of these characters, and as long
as you use reasonably popular fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial,
it's not a problem.
If you need to do elaborate equations, the usual workaround is to
convert them to graphics to ensure that the visitor, whose software
capabilities are unknown, can see them.
