May Not Work on a Mac
June 10, 2002
The superscript numbers appear as regular non-superscript numbers.
Note that a few Latin symbols are problematic on a Mac, these
were dealt with in the earlier Latin characters table. Older
Mac browsers can have problems with fractions, as noted in the
first "Common Symbols" table.

For some bizarre reason, these are also likely to work on a Mac
with IE5, but not a PC with IE5.

That means Netscape 6, which is a lot more compliant than IE6.
A Mac running IE5 is likely to cope with most of them, and the
few exceptions are noted in the table.
