http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm?q=magnifying&preview=entity

🔍 <- shows in ie9 ie10 , firefox, not in chrome

why? how can fix this? use in <title> of webpage

font support character left-pointing magnifying glass u+1f50d limited, quivira, segoe ui symbol, , symbola. of these, segoe ui symbol shipped modern versions of windows, whereas other free fonts users can download , install, people don’t such things. thus, should not expect such character displayed in normal content, still less in special contexts title elements.

the title element not rendered normal content, in browser-specific manner outside page, e.g. in address bar or tab bar. such rendering browser-dependent, immune in css, , uses font chosen browser. apparently, in modern versions of browsers in modern versions of windows, font used segoe ui symbol. in other situations, font lacks character.

thus, there no fix. title element value should written serves different purposes (including importance search engines), rather tuned suit particular use.
