title: HTML entities and charset in IE
body: <p>I am displaying html entity <code>&amp;#10003;</code> (a check mark: &#10003;) in an html document that uses iso-8859-1 for the character set.</p>
  
  <p>In Firefox, it displays as a check mark. In IE, it displays as a square box. Switching to UTF-8 doesn't seem to make a difference.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a reliable way to display these entities in IE 6 &amp; 7 without using images?</p>
