Re: PC internet page with strange math/greek character

Searching thru internet I come to a page with some technical/chemical data.
Values are supposed to be very small, so I would assume 0,001 show as
1x10(pow -3), or in normal writing 1 mX where X be the main unit, thus
"m" standing for "one-thousand" of X.

Similarly, I would assume "one-millionth" fraction to show as micro-X,
usually writen with the greek "mu" letter as "mu"X.
But the page I'm looking at shows a small character, not displayable at
all:
- with Mozilla Firefox it shows as a small (1 char size) square, with
very small tiny numbers inside, kind of like x'0003', but first two
zeros on top, then 03 in the base line, all four of them inside the
small square.
- with IE 8, it shows also as a small (smaller than Mozilla's) square,
but empy.

I assume it's the "mu" greek char that stands for "one-millionth" , but
would like to show it some how, and be able to print it as well. I've
tried different ways:
- ask to see the html code page: same small squares come up
- in Mozilla/IE8, view/character codepage ... etc trying Unicode (8, 16,
32...) , or Greek, or Latin,... in all combinations I can think of,
- copy/paste from html page to WORD, ...
to no success at all.

Can you suggest any other ways to see that small character in the html
page?

I know that working with WORD in a technical document, I can insert all
kinds of math/greek/arrows/etc chars with no problem, the rest of
document in normal way, and everything shows OK.

So, can I display that internet page somehow to show that small
character in a normal fashion?
TIA
