I am working on a sample application in this application I am displaying “Yen symbol”. But the displayed yen symbol is different from the standard yen symbol. The standard yen symbol contains: Y with 2 horizontal lines at bottom. In my application the displayed yen symbol contains: Y with only one horizontal line at the bottom.
Please help me to solve this problem.
How a character is shown depends on the used font.
I think Windows used the Tahoma font by default in Windows XP. And indeed, the Yen sign contains a single horizontal line in that font.
In Windows 7, it seems the Segoe UI font is used, which uses two horizontal lines in the Yen sign.
Use the CHARMAP application to check how the Yen sign looks in the different fonts, and change the font to that font in your window.
definitely the problem related to fonts
Check which font you are using , if you are using MS Sans Serif than change it to tohoma or times new roman.

I want to add glyhps from the MacOS Catalina icon font into my NSString.
I use the SF Symbols app and the few icons which show a unicode codepoint are easy to embed like normal characters but how do i use the ones where no codepoint is shown (the overwhelming majority).
Ok i found the website http://mathew-kurian.github.io/CharacterMap
Just upload your SF Symbol font from /Library/Fonts and then the character name contains the unicode hex codepoint.
I'm using Windows 10 pro and for some reason when I'm having Chinese character in any coding related program which not allows setting directly a Chinese font, most of the characters shown in a normal way and some in a different and smaller font, everything I tried, including changing font, change encoding, adding Chinese language pack to windows or changing windows to Chinese did not work, can someone try help me to fix it? Thanks!
Characters in Notepad++:
Characters in Eclipse:
The blurriness of the two too small characters 门 and 别 indicates that they are missing in the chosen font and have been replaced by characters of a bitmap/raster font.
Make sure to have a font installed and chosen that contains all the characters you want to use:
门 (U+95E8) font support
别 (U+522B) font support
For example, the font BabelStone Han (download link at the bottom of the page) supports these characters.
In Eclipse, the text editor font can be changed in Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts: Basic > Text Font.
I'm using the font Apple SD Gothic Neo. The letters print fine except when I have one with an accent mark, like ú:
This is not a custom font, and it happens on all font weights. If it makes a difference, I'm pulling the string from Firebase.
Why is this happening and what can I do?
Use a different font.
When a font lacks a glyph, that glyph is substituted from another font, resulting in a typographical mismatch. That’s what’s happening here. You are using a font that is very Unicode-incomplete for Latin alphabet characters. It is intended for Korean! Use a more appropriate font.
Background
The Arabic letter noon ghunna (ں) is displayed incorrectly on my Windows 10 PC (in Chrome, Edge, Notepad and Word). The sequence ALEF, NOON GHUNNA, ALEF is displayed as:
The same sequence is displayed correctly on my Android phone without the dot:
For completeness, the actual unicode string (for copy/paste purposes) is:
اںا
There has been some controversy regarding this letter (L2-12/381) which has settled by now as seen from the Unicode Standard which states (since version 7 and up to the current 11):
Rendering systems should display U+06BA as a dual-joining letter, with all four contextual forms shown dotless, regardless of the language of the text.
But the dot appears in word-initial (ںا) and mid-word (اںا) positions. Final (اں) and isolated (ں) forms are fine.
Question
Now my question is, how can this be fixed, other than by waiting for Microsoft to fix it? I want to understand where the problem lies. Is it in the Uniscribe library, or is it down to the font being used? Can it be fixed by using a specifically crafted TrueType/OpenType font?
This turned out to be a font problem. Quite a few fonts on fonts.google.com show this letter correctly:

I'm trying to find a way to make dingbats appear exactly the same in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE.
I noticed that the Dingbats appear the same in IE/Chrome/Safari, HOWEVER - in Firefox - they look "thinner".
For example - try to visit the following page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingbat
You'll notice that when viewing that page in Firefox - the characters look different in comparison to Chrome/IE.
Does anybody know why and how can I cause Firefox to display the characters EXACTLY like they appear in Chrome/IE?

You will never make fonts look exactly the same in all browsers, whether the characters in question are Dingbats or not.
For me, most of the characters on that page don't render in IE or WebKit. IE traditionally has poorer font fallback than average and Firefox typically better then average. The font that Firefox and Opera manage to choose to render the symbols for me is Meiryo (a Japanese font installed with Windows Vista and later). On IE and WebKit it falls back to the much more limited selection of symbols available in Arial, leaving most of the characters missing.
So for the best chance of rendering symbol characters how you want, do as you do for any other characters, and specify the font you want, eg. CSS font-family: Meiryo. But of course anyone who doesn't have that font installed will get something different, and browser/OS settings may change how fonts are rendered in general.
The symbol characters from the Zapf Dingbats set are not safe to use on the web, as the basic default sets of fonts installed by operating systems do not typically include glyphs for most of them. (‘Wingdings’ on Windows does, but it's a legacy font with a custom mapping that puts the symbols on ASCII characters instead of where they should be in Unicode, so again it's not safe to use on the web.)
There are a few symbol characters that you can typically get away with using for commonly-available font sets, eg:
● ■ ☺ ☻ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ • ▲ ▼
others, I'd try to avoid.
Interesting...On a MacOS X 10.6.6 machine with Firefox 3.6.13 and Chrome 8.0.552.231, the Wikipedia pages do render the first table, the ITC Zapf Dingbats, slightly differently. The effect is most noticeable on the solid half-circle at the bottom left corner of the set of characters.
The main Unicode Dingbats table renders almost the same; Firefox generates boxes containing the 4 hex digits of the missing character for the missing symbols, but Chrome just generates empty boxes - I prefer Firefox's technique.
The browsers must either be using slightly different fonts or slightly different font sizes (though I can't detect a size difference by eye). I've not looked at the HTML that is being rendered.
On the whole, I think that this is within the realm of 'allowable variation' - but I'm not an expert. I suspect you have a world of worry ahead of you if you demand pixel-for-pixel similarity between browsers. The concern should be to get the message across clearly.
