Looks fine on IE8 to me. I suspect this is a font problem; will look into it further. What operating system - XP?Windows 7? Thanks K!

Looked up the symbol in question:
▶Seems to be perfectly legal Unicode. A quick Google search of the char plus "IE8" did not return a slew of known bugs, so... not sure. Will bring it up at the dev mtg.

Suspects that this is related to Win XP. I can recreate the issue in IE 7 under XP.

We should use
►for ►. Test page here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25ba/browsertest.htm -

Daniel's replacement char has been tested & appears on: Chrome, FF 3.5, Safari 5, IE8/XP, IE8/Win7, IE7 (emulation)/Win 7. I changed html in the mini-CMS on test 2 to use ► and you can see it here: http://test2.akvo.org/
May need to just advise our PR team to use that character, if it looks ok.

We need to update "arrows" site wide to make sure we use the correct unicode arrow.
