WebDings character won’t display correctly

Dec 05.2005

This code works ok in IE but not in other browsers. It’s supposed to display the up-arrow character from WebDings. Can anyone tell me why it doesn’t work consistently? Thanks.

<font face=’webdings’ size=’2′ color=’white’ style=’font-weight: bold;’>5</font>

use an image instead
