HTML Special Characters

Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer have some differences with the characters they show.  On this particular page, I have shown ones that seem to be mostly the same between the two.

Your input wanted.

Do you see any symbols that could/should be re-categorized?

Do you know of certain ranges of numbers that could be categorized and mentioned here?

For example, I have not shown numbers 19968 to 55203 on this page even though they appear to be the same between Firefox and IE, because they are foreign languages.  I can only make guesses as to their languages.  I would prefer to not guess.

The biggest differences between browsers show up between numbers 10000 & 19967, and between 57344 & 59492.
These files contain the special characters in sequence, in three different fonts: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New, and Comic Sans MS.
Warning: these files are large, about 651 KB each.

Format of display on this webpage
Example:
(1)   (2) &ge (3) &#8805 (4) {greater-than or equal to}
  1. Actual character (larger, and magenta)
  2. Alpha HTML character code (in green)
  3. Number HTML character code (in green)
  4. Description in {curly brackets}
   2 & 4 may be missing, but 1 & 3 will always be there.
To use the character codes in HTML,
remember to put the ampersand (&), before, and the semicolon (;), after.
Only the numbered codes require a number sign (#), before the code number.
Many of the code numbers can be used in regular use while typing.
Hold down the "Alt" key while you type the four digit code number.
If the code number is not four digits long, then add preceeding zeros to make the number four digits long.
For example: to get the Euro symbol in HTML, you use € - but while typing, you type Alt-0128.
