Having a issue in showing angle quotation mark in firefox - macos

I am having one widget in which I am trying to display text along with angle quotation mark-right(») character. A text inside this widget is following.
Begin Typing Here »
It's being displayed correctly in Firefox (in windows + Ubuntu), but in one of our Mac machine in Firefox + Chrome, "»" is not being displayed correctly.
I already have verified the default encoding that is set into Firefox in Mac. It's same as my ubuntu and windows machine's firefox.
EDITS:
I have following present in my HTML.
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Here's screenshot of issue on Mac.
Can someone share some random thoughts on this?

joomla site not downloading google font, why?

I created a website based on Joomla and I use google fonts in it, i.e. in the head part of the document I have:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato|Merriweather+Sans:400,700,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
and I see it in source of the page, when I browse to the web site.
In my windows xp underwhich I programmed it is working sure because I downloaded the fonts and installed, to do design under photoshop!
Browsing it to mobile phone or my other OS (windows 8, etc.) font will not appear!
What could be the reason please?
Edit:
I already added CORS header in joomla too! Still not working. I have #import(...) of the font correctly in my css. All spelling is ok and all is working in the windows system where I have the font installed. Why not working / downloading in other OS/browsers, remains a mystery to me!
cross check the name of the font in your CSS file with its name in the Google fonts page

On screen rotation iOS webapp changes viewport and crashes

I've created a mobile webbased game and use the "Add to homescreen" feature to allow users to add it as an app to their iOS devices.
However, recently it started malfunctioning. It has always worked without problem but started acting up possibly after the iOS 8.3 update. This is the code in my head, which has not been changed recently so should not be the problem:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=590px, user-scalable=0">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent">
When I get to the login screen it works without problem, however after logging in in landscape there are suddenly margins to the left and right. If I log in in portrait there are no margins. If I rotate the phone from landscape with margins to portrait it displays normally, if I rotate it back the margins suddenly increase by a lot and if I then try to rotate the device again it crashes.
I have taken some screens to show the problem:

After that last screenshot the webapp just crashes. It only shows this behaviour in the webapp, if I access the game through Safari, my Android app (which loads the website in WebView) or the desktop with a simulated user-agent the website functions properly.
I've tried deleting the webapp, rebooting my phone and adding it back to my homescreen to no avail. I first guessed it was a caching issue but that should have been then resolved after viewing the website correctly in Safari.
For those wanting to try themselves, the game is www.reincarnationgame.com

IE 11 compatibility view

My website is broken in IE11. We found that it’s broken due to XSLTProcessor and XPathEvaluator since they are not supported any more in IE. I did some R&D and found that it’s also not supported in IE9 and IE10 but my website is working fine in IE9 and IE10. May I know why it is broken in IE11?
In below screenshot, we can see that document mode is Quirks. Don’t we have same behavior for IE11?
EDIT
We also have meta tag in our master page and it was working fine until IE10 but it’s broken in IE11.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
Do we have to use different meta tags for IE11?
I changed meta tag to <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5" /> and it started working fine.

Windows Phone viewport meta tag

I'm currently working on a mobile website. Everything is working fine on both iOS and Android, i'm however experiencing problems with the viewport meta tag on Windows Phone when trying to set the width of the viewport to 640px. I'm using :
<meta name="viewport" content="width=640,user-scalable=no"/>
However it seems that whenever you are trying to set a viewport greater that 480px Windows phone automatically applies to default viewport (1024px).
Any Workaround ?
I haven't had much success with <meta name="viewport"> and Windows Phone 7.5 unless I set width between 320 to 480 (inclusive). If I want to set it outside of that range it seems to just default to 320.
I tried just using <meta name="MobileOptimized" content="640"> and that worked perfectly. It behaves like <meta name="viewport" content="width=640,user-scalable=no">.
According to this article and the article linked to by in Mikael Koskinen's Answer the range should be 320 to 10,000 but I haven't been able to reproduce that.
The Windows Phone team blogged about Windows Phone browser viewport some time ago. They don't have examples for widths' greater than 480 but maybe you can find some tips from there, like using the dynamic viewport sizing.
Note that the blog post applies to Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) only.

Zoom in/ zoom out within web-browser on windows phone 7

I've built an example with web-browser in windows phone 7. When I load an html file which created by myself, I can double click on web-browser to zoom in/ zoom out the content. But, when I load an web-page (ex: google.com) I can't.
I uploaded my example to my skydriver account. You can't get it at http://cid-b65eb4d185de7cfc.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Shared/Sandbox.WebBrowser.zip
If you known the reason why, please help me.
I think the reason lies in the meta tags within the HTML headers from Google.
I'd guess that Google have fixed the viewport to not allow zooming:
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no" />
