Only links2, amongst my browsers, shows the wedge for ⋀. But all them (except konqueror) show the wedge for ∧. I've tested with mozilla, konqueror, links2, firefox and epiphany.

No change. What's the Wikipedia solution to this? -Carl

I don't know what a Wikipedia solution is, but I went to the Microsoft
website to get a Microsoft solution. If you go to this page:

http://tinyurl.com/hx8o9

you get Unicode characters, a lot of which Microsoft seems to think
will display, but which in fact don't in my configuration of IE. No
problem is assumed and no fix therefore suggested.

Is Microsoft staffed by idiots, or do they just work very hard at
looking like they are? You need to click on Additional Named Entities
for that page, and in my version of IE you then find a lot of problem
characters. With Firefox, you can't even get to the page, and I have
to suspect deliberate sabotage of some kind with that one.

It looks fine, except in konqueror. Text-only browsers like lynx and links replace the symbol for the text "AND". It seems that konqueror is aware of the char-coding, however it shows only a blank square instead of a wedge. Perhaps I would need to install some additional kde/konqueror package for full utf-8 support?

Wikipedia uses TeX to generate math stuff, and then converts the output to figures in PNG format:

It is a good idea to use latex2html when making pages with many/complex formulae:

It's a standard html tag.
