Not really an encoding problem, I suppose the issue arises because the fallback font does not have those symbols. I can't test on Windows but if someone could point me to a font which has those mathematics characters on Windows I'll gladly specify that font.

The browser is supposed to find a font that does have them in that case, so I guess no font does. Ssame on iPad.

  Can you point me to something that shows this? I know font family declarations with multiple fonts will fall back but I've never heard of this before. FWIW, the site only declares one typeface "Lucida Grande" so I assume to browser is falling back to the default Sans-serif on windows.

    It is quoted in various places eg http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/characters.html http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/characters.html although some sources eg http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lxndiWaFMvMC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=special+characters+unicode+fallback+browser&source=bl&ots=Nbuu4GQ4EA&sig=06eG-O4LzWsuWMf06QQjn1tKhEA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cXeIT-6_A4nT0QXF14TMCQ&ved=0CA0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lxndiWaFMvMC&pg=PA65&... says that IE does not do this. Still looking for original spec though.

Can you try "Lucida Sans Unicode"?
