Installed Unicode fonts also include Deseret. �������� ������.

...Strange, that works in Camino but not in Safari.

Deseret seems to be in a five-byte corner of UTF-8. That may be part of Safari's problem. They're displayed as if they were unrecognized HTML entities.

Aha, it's more than that-- it's encoded with surrogates, an oddball means of extending the Unicode space to more than two bytes of code numbers. Safari may have trouble handling surrogates. And it turns out that Deseret has a very special role in the history of this part of Unicode, as explained here (http://homepage.mac.com/jhjenkins/Deseret/Unicode.html)! This is undoubtedly the reason why Deseret is included at all.
