Mine?
Or the one chosen by this website?

You make it sound like you have no choice in the matter..
Regardless of how you think it looks with one particular font, U+33A1 is the correct character to use.

Does it look OK to you?
Given that there's a high degree of probability that we don't have code page issues on this site, can you justify why I should have to change my browser to override the font choices made by website designers just so that I can see characters you have no good reason to use?
Does it look OK to you?
Yes, it looks fine. May I suggest a visit to Specsavers, or perhaps a new display?
It's far more likely that we do, actually. As a matter of fact, the simple fact that this site uses ISO-8859-1 rather than UTF-8 is an issue to me.
So do you have a computer check your airbags before each time you drive the car? Even then I can tell you there is STILL no guarantee they will deploy! Furthermore even if they do work perfectly, they may have little or no effect on saving your life in a crash!
Im really not sure where you are wanting this thread to go but Im tiered of this puerile banter!
Oops! I forgot to put an apostrophe in I'm! Am I to be pulled up again by the grammar expert FFS?
All I can do it to put my trust in the design AND TESTING regimes put in place by the car makers.
I'd like it to go to the point where you realise that
"everything has worked fine for last 4 years, RCD never trips"
really means
"my installation has not been called on to handle any exception events for the last 4 years, so I'm just guessing that when it is it will work just fine even though I chose to do absolutely nothing to check that the systems which should save my life if they worked properly will actually work."
I'm sorry you regard safety concerns as puerile. If you're not interested in doing things properly why are you here?
"RCD never trips" could be a bad thing too - if it at any time should have operated!
Just because something is in unicode doesn't mean it makes sense to use it.
The character you used (code point 33A1) is in the CJK compatibility block. That means it is in unicode not because the designers of unicode thought it made sense but because it was needed for round-trip comaptibility with some legacy CJK encoding. It also means it's unlikely to display at all on systems that don't have support for CJK languages installed and if it is displayed it's likely to be displayed in an arbitary chinese japanese or korean optimised font that does not match the rest of the text.
eh........ what is the difference here???????

you claim to be an "expert" here yet you appear to be unable to work out what the OP ( me) has posted here within in the context! ie if you read the complete post you SHOULD be able to understand from the rest of the post what i meant ( EIGHT SQUARE METRES!) even although your (or my) computer has not printed the EXACT English grammatically correct text!
FFS, we are on a DIY internet forum here, not completing an English paper for an advanced degree at Oxbridge!
DONT BE SO PEDANTIC!
Ive just plastered over my new cables ( all in verticle & horizontal) as an extension of existing ring main. works fine! i aint involving the assholes at BC in th ecouncil as Im less than 8m2 of floor space! ( due to clever measuring techniques) boom! boom!
Congratulations
"All I can do it to put my trust in the design AND TESTING regimes put in place by the car makers. "
This is amusing (or is it BEmusing?) You say you trust car manufacturers to design & build their products to 100% working standards ( airbags in particular I think we were discussing?) but you seem to imply you do NOT trust cable manufacturers to design & manufacture THEIR products to the same?
You think there may be a high resistance fault in a cable??? WTF?
Im sure you have much more experience than me as Ive only been involved in the building trade for 18 years , but I nor anyone Ive worked with has ever in this time come across such a piece of faulty cable!
this country has become clogged with overzealous health & safety "experts" such as you! I'm sure you mean well but where has common sense gone?
