The "Gecko/20031120" in user agent string means that the rendering
code is over 2 years old. If you've other problems with this UA,
it's probably because of old code.
However, this is a known bug and it's caused by a broken "Symbol"
font. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149566> for
more information. If I've understood correctly, the "Symbol" font
installed by default in some systems has incorrect character mapping.
