Symbol Font Face

Mathew Kohel was reading my web page and suggested using the symbol font face for displaying Greek letters in HTML. For example, the HTML code:

<FONT FACE="SYMBOL">DSz</FONT>
Should display the greek letters Delta, Sigma and Zeta as shown below:
DSz

The only problem with this approach is that it only works on computers that have the symbol font installed, but I think 99% of computers now come this way.

Below is a complete mapping of the Symbol face on your computer.

Regular characters...

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
`1234567890-=\[];',./
~!@#$%^&*()_+|{}:"<>?

Corresponding Symbols ...

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
`1234567890-=\[];',./
~!@#$%^&*()_+|{}:"<>?
