Please forgive me this has already been answered but I'm working on a project where I need to add the service mark symbol as an option in the RadEditor's Symbol dropdown. I've added the unicode for the symbol to ToolsFile.xml (<symbol value="\u2120" />). And while it displays ok in FF 3.6 and somewhat in IE7, it displays as an unidentified symbol in IE6. Is the service mark symbol supported in the editor like the other predefined symbols or would I need to do some sort of conversion?

Thanks!

Hello Terri,

This is a browser IE6 bug, which can be reproduced in an editable IFRAME element as well as in our competitors' editors under IE6. You can confirm this by testing the attached HTML file having an editable IFRAME element in it.

If you change the font to Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, Courier New the special symbol will be rendered fine. I was able to reproduce that the browser bug occurs when the font is set to Arial or Times New Roman.

I found that this browser bug is also discussed in these web pages:
