Re: Screen reader access to symbols (special characters) inside data tables

I suspect it is something with the symbols themselves, voiceover does not read the up and down arrows, nor the diamond and the double-horizontal arrow (I've not tested many others).

PS: there is a misspelling in the index, it says "uniciode"

Interestingly, on a different web page, JAWS voiced the single dagger and double dagger symbols correctly, voiced the approximate symbol as an equal to, but did not voice the cell with the up arrow symbol. Has anyone experienced this quirkiness with JAWS and symbols before?
