Using Unicode standard symbols in HTML/CSS documents. Do I use Javascript?
11:36 14 Jul 2012

I'm an enormous newbie but I want to add a Unicode character to a document. I've tried reading all the Unicode character threads but I am finding it difficult to understand and I am getting a headache trying to soak in all the information.

#idtag {
  font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, "Arial Unicode MS", sans-serif;
}

I am trying to add U+1F4D7 or anything like a book but when I view the page I just see a hollowed out square. I don't think I have the symbol on my PC. I have used Google Fonts before and they just require Javascript? Would I do the same? How would I do this?
