Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > In IE8.0.6001.18702, the character displayed is the usual box character > for an unknown glyph.

On Win7 I can see the "ℤ" in Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385. Of course it looks better with "Arial Unicode MS". I don't know which replacement font IE is using (looks the same like this character in the bug tracker with Firefox. Regards, Carsten Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-24 12:50:50] rquadling@php.net Description: ------------ On http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php, the first line reads ... "An integer is a number of the set ℤ = {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}." In Google Chrome V11.0.672.2 dev and in Firefox V3.6.13, the ℤ (a Double-Struck Capital Z :: ࡌ) is displayed correctly. In IE8.0.6001.18702, the character displayed is the usual box character for an unknown glyph. This is also true in the downloaded CHM files (as they use IE to render the page) as well as all the compatibility and quirks mode (tested within IE8). It seems that the font being used is Arial. In the Arial font on my machine (V3.00 and digitally signed to be an authentic font), this glyph is not present. Adding "Arial Unicode MS" to the font-family, then this character is displayed correctly. The issue is not an encoding issue. The character is correctly encoded. It is just the font being used by IE doesn't have the glyph. But replacing the entire site's font isn't something I'd like to do just to fix what so far is 1 character. One way would be to change the ℤ to a Z. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer says this is one way this symbol is shown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54088&edit=1
