Per https://unicode.scarfboy.com/ these are the characters (formatting issues are expected):
U+03B8 θ GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA
U+2713 CHECK MARK
U+203E ‾ OVERLINE
U+2191 ↑ UPWARDS ARROW
U+2193 ↓ DOWNWARDS ARROW
U+007E ~ TILDE
U+03B1 α GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA
U+03B2 β GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA
U+0394 Δ GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA
U+03D5 ϕ GREEK PHI SYMBOL
Specific characters that aren't showing up:
U+2713 CHECK MARK, U+203E ‾ OVERLINE, U+2191 ↑ UPWARDS ARROW, U+2193 ↓ DOWNWARDS ARROW, U+03D5 ϕ GREEK PHI SYMBOL
Arial contains most of these, Verdana does not. That's the limit of my knowledge of webified things.
