I'm trying to make a list of all the graphics that can be used under ISO 8859-1 for use in HTML.
There are between 10000 and 11000 characters available.
The first 1-255 are clearly defined.

I have checked different computers and different browsers and gotten different results.
What determines when the extended characters will display and which of them will be displayed?


The Browser or version of the Browser
The Operating System (Windows XP, VISTA, Windows 7)
The Printer installed
The Graphics card in the Computer
Something set within windows
Something set within the browser

Something that can be changed (I added ISO 8859-1 in HTML and it STILL isn't consistant)



Some of the Characters below will always display, in some cases only the BLACK characters will display, in other cases none.


King ♔    " & # 9812"

Queen ♕    " & # 9813"

Castle ♖    " & # 9814"

Bishop ♗    " & # 9815"

Knight ♘    " & # 9816"

Pawn ♙    " & # 9817"

Black King ♚    " & # 9818"

Black Queen ♛    " & # 9819"

Black Castle ♜    " & # 9820"

Black Bishop ♝    " & # 9821"

Black Knight ♞    " & # 9822"

Black Pawn ♟    " & # 9823"

From 1-255 appears consistant
From 266-7999 appears special characters related to Foreign Aphabets
From 8000-11000 appear to be graphic Character DISPLAYS

Any idead?

You've basically hit the nail on the head: implementations vary. Do you have access to some other method of drawing? Pixel-based, for instance?He can also use black and white GIF images in a table. With today's faster speeds most users will not know the difference.
