FF13 doesn’t properly display Art made with pieced together Text Symbols on Twitter anymore. Safari got better in the meantime. Can this be fixed to work again?

Twitter and many websites with comment fields offer the possibility to use text symbols like ┫, ╰ and ╮ to build art, which created a plethora of amazing pieces and entire accounts only dedicated to this art form. Unfortunately Firefox has first made the use of most symbols impossible over the course of several updates. Safari got better in the meantime. Example: http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=10K8LvHSjDAic1Cai9ErAjWXM5c3t The sizes of the elements seem random and don’t fit together.

Looks like a font problem.
Can be caused by the Helvetica font. 

font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif;}

Which font is Firefox using?

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
