When I paste this character:

<center>₿</center>

do you see a tall box with 20 BF in it? That indicates a missing character in the font Firefox is using (and failure to use a different font for it).

On this page, my Firefox (on 64-bit Windows 7) is using "PT Serif" for that character -- I have no idea how that was chosen.

I think that font got onto my system when I installed LibreOffice (its modification date in the Fonts folder is the same as the modification date of the LibreOffice program folder).

For me it uses "Noto Sans Symbols".
