I have some html where the star is simply in the code like so:

<strong>This is my ★ star, I'm not using entities!</strong>

It works in Firefox, but not in Chrome (which displays a box). Why?

    Just to expand on Gil’s answer, the unicode character entity for star &#9733; was not showing for me in Chrome, but it was in Firefox. I found that just as Gil says, it did work in Chrome when it was in the html at page load, but it did not work in Chrome when the html containing the star was loaded subsequently via ajax.

    Here’s how I fixed it: this doesn’t work…

    <span>&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</span>

    … but this does – with the addition of the CSS text-rendering declaration…

    <span style="text-rendering:auto;">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</span>

    For the record I’m using Bootstrap on this site.
