I am building a web site and when I preview it with Firefox, a small square with the number 0003 in it appears here and there within some of my text. This peculiar icon does not show up with Chrome nor Safari.

OK. I fixed the problem by re-typing a few words before and after the symbol 0003. This symbol was confusing because it shows no visible sign before or after it. Firebug detects it, but without offering any explanation. Anyway, it seems to result from copying and pasting from another application.

Does it make any difference if you change the detected character set?

On the View menu > Character Encoding try switching between Unicode (UTF-8) and Western.

Thank you jscher2000. Unfortunately changing encoding does not solve the problem.

Someone else experienced this problem with Firefox. But the proposed solution does not work for me. Below is the link. The post shows the icon I am talking about.

Can you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem?

(I'm not familiar with Hype, but I noticed they have some support forums in case this is something specific to their tool.)

That thread suggests that it's a character missing from the font. But then you would expect to see the problem in multiple browsers...unless Firefox is not applying the correct font.

Indeed. The font does not seem to be the culprit. I am using a Google webfont. I suspect something with HTML or CSS. But my syntax is quite simple (even if it doesn't take much for HTML to go weird) and the problem, again, occurs only with Firefox.

If Firefox is unable (or unwilling) to retrieve a web font, it will substitute something similar from your computer... but again it's hard to suss out without being able to poke around the page.

I don't think that there are many code pages that have a character assigned to 0x003, so I'm not sure which character you should see. Other browsers may suppress that character, so you do not see it, but Firefox shows the hex code in a little square box in such a case to allow you to look up the character in a table.

Thank you all for your help. I will try to find a solution for a problem that I thought quite common.
