Hey all, if you are on Chrome, IE, or Opera, you might not see this, but if you're on Firefox or you don't see boxes can anyone tell me more about this type of lettering: "�� �� �� �� �� �� ��"? Saw it today and it has been bugging me since.

Thanks.

Edit - I know it's unicode, but I couldn't find it through the main unicode website. Figured someone here might recognize it.

Your string appear as replacement characters (�) on here (Your browser/The server cut off the encoding), but I have an idea of what you're trying to say from your title (Like the A character in your title)?

There's a unicode branch of them, let me dig it up:

Letterlike Symbols:

Hopefully they appear, and that I'm talking about the right thing! Regardless you can copy->paste the one you're wondering about into this script yourself to see what they are (their unicode names/ranges):

If you need any more help just ask, an old Unix dev knows a lot about character set problems..

Thanks. They turned out to be the "Mathematical bold script" set of unicode:

I wish I had known about that site earlier, would have saved me from making a post here, although I hope someone else can learn from these.
