Unicode character does not display from my applet but is viewable from other app

The title says it all.

Java jdk1.5.0_04

I am attempting to display \u2714 \u2718 (Dingbat characters) in a Web Applet. Other Unicode symbols work fine Copyright \u00a9, infinity \u221e, etc.

If I load other web applets, these symbols display fine. http://mindprod.com/applets/unicode.html

I have even gone so far as to load Sun's SymbolTest http://131.246.241.200/km/java/java/jdk/demo/awt-1.1/symboltest/SymbolTest.java It compiles and displays the characters properly.

I have searched the web and cannot find an answer. The best I have found was something to do with java font properties. But I can't see how that applies, since it works for something compiled, but does not work for something I compile.

Any help would be appreciated.

Be seeing you...

I found my answer.

I had to find a font which the character \u2714 was displayable. :rolleyes:
