The characters may be entirely different altogether in cases of specialized
fonts, for diaplying mathematical or phonetical characters etc. But if the
standard character does exist it should be in its proper spot. If it's not,
then whoever designed the font is simply *wrong*, and it's a font you can
probably do without. This is especially important online because someone else
might be using a different font to view your material. (This sounds like my
rant on order of operations, but consistency is very important with computers!
