<div><br><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The phenomenon of 'little rectangles' replacing 'weird characters' is well known to programmers who have been struggling (well, occasionally) with the inadequacies of legacy ascii text editors for years. Though text editors are gradually getting there with unicode, each text editor or viewer can have kts quirks, so anything can happen.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">It can be that your mailer just isn't able to access the characters or that your unicode font hasn't gpt these characters,</font></div>
<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">In my phone, for example, I seem to see 'practical' diacritics such as àáâãäåæāăąçćĉċčðďđèéêëēĕėęěĝğġ but not the phonetics characters people use on this list. You might want to check if the problem only occurs with Lowlands-L because it's the only mail you get with these kinds of diactritics.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">If so, a solution might be to download a better font. I can't guarantee it, but it's something to try. Just check first that thestuff you're failing to see is the stuff that you wouldn't receive from sources other than this list. Maybe you could get someone to email you phonetics characters from their personal email address, and that might help you to see where the problem really lies.</font></div>
