Help me see unicode fonts on my browser (Firefox 3.6.10). Yes, I've seen
this and
this, but they don't help me. I need step by step instructions for idiots.

I can't get Unicode character 0CAO -- which is a part of
a popular emoticon-based meme -- to correctly display in Firefox, despite, as far as I can tell, having the necessary fonts installed on the system. A picture speaks a thousand words, so:
These are my Firefox font settings.
This is how
this page looks in Firefox.
This is how it looks in Safari.
This page suggested I needed Arial Unicode MS (which
appears to already be part of the Mac OS X operating system?). I also installed a Kannada font from
here. No go. Any ideas? It's not so much that I really love the meme; moreso that I really detest seeing those Unicode boxes pop up everywhere on God's green Earth when the character fails to display in Firefox.

Why does Firefox insist on loading pages with Unicode character coding, when I prefer Western character coding? The former turns high-ASCII characters like § into question marks; the latter displays these normally. Does this happen to anyone else, and can I fix it?
