I've posted the following in the MS Office Forum:
In the Word desktop app I used "-->", which Word autoconverts to a nice arrow.
When viewing the document in the browser version of Word it gets mangled and shows up as a "à" symbol.
Note: This happens on the same computer! My browser is Firefox (84.0.2). When using Edge or Chrome the arrows are displayed properly.
And got the following answer:
This appears to be a bug in Firefox. The two characters have the same Unicode value, 00E0, but the arrow is in the Wingdings font while the à is displayed in most non-symbol fonts. Although the font box on the ribbon in Word Online says the font of the character is Wingdings, Firefox fails to show it in that font.
Given that both Edge and Chrome seem to be able to display the document correctly, it seems to me that this is a Firefox bug?
