Firefox Farsi Language - "Em" character doesnt dis
Good morning. I have been working on a site that displays correctly in IE, however, it does not display correctly in Firefox. The only problem is that in Farsi language, the "Em" character (it looks like an S) does not display. It displays as a little square made of dots.

Hmm
Is anyone able to help me out with this? I'm still stuck, and cannot seem to find the reason why this character is not being displayed properly by Firefox. Thank you everyone.

Did you work it out? If not, code or webpage, please.
It looks to me like Firefox can display it just fine

The proper way to include it is to type the character and save the HTML file as UTF-8. The content-type header must also match.

No, I still have not found a fix. I will be getting a hold of the programmer of the site this Monday. I don't personally know that everything he wrote in it was correct, but I also have no website to check out in Farsi to compare to see if that "em" character presents itself correctly at any other site.
All I know is that it looks correct in IE, but since only linux machines have access to this website, IE isn't something that will work. (Ive tried using wine to run IE, and other IE variants for linux, they all pretty much stink).
It's very possible that the programmer did a poor job, so I will investigate that and get back to you.
Thanks so much

I posted a link above. Here it is again. (Wikipedia notes: Native Persian speakers call it "Fārsi" (local name) or Parsi. Farsi is the arabicized form of Parsi, due to a lack of the /p/ phoneme in Standard Arabic).

There are also a couple of dictionaries.

And Mozilla's own Persian language pack page for Firefox
