Unicode issues?

mostly useless

I want to use some unicode characters (specifically directional arrows) in my story. How do I do this, and will it cause any problems? I know people have had headaches with non-English characters and the like.

Thanks for reading!

I can think of two ways: insert the actual unicode character, for example , or insert an HTML entity that contains the Unicode character number (code point), for example € .

If either doesn't work, report it as a bug. I tested both in a Twee source and they worked fine there, but maybe it doesn't work in some special circumstance.

Edit: One way in which it could fail is if you use a very exotic character that is not included in the fonts that typical web browsers use. That shouldn't be the case for arrows though. Worst case, you could include a custom font in your story.
