The Symbol font is a 8 bit font that maps on the main ASCII set (0x00-0xFF) and doesn't work in Firefox. It is best to always use the Unicode representation of characters to avoid font problems because in that case any font that supports those symbols can be used and it works on all platforms if you have a font that covers that Unicode range.
