Hi Sid,
I am afraid you will have to turn to your shrink, because the problem is
all in your head! The symbols display perfectly for me under Safari and
Opera (8.5).
But wait, you say you're using Firefox? Ah, now I understand...I see the
same problem, even when I use numeric entity references like ♠
(spades). I thought that changing to a different font might fix the
problem, but FF stubbornly displays them as horizontal and vertical
bars. I'm not sure why it is doing that. I'll clear the stage for
someone (like Jukka) who knows the details.
HTH
