Is it possible to display the entity ⇓ in IE6

is it possible to display ⇓ entity in ie6? It is being display in every browser but not IE 6.I am writing markup such as: 

<span>&#8659;</span>
Solution

  • According to this page, that symbol doesn't show in IE6 at all. 

    Symbol  Character  Numeric  Description
⇓       &dArr;     &#8659;  Down double arrow - -  * Doesn't show with MS IE6

    If you really need that particular symbol, you may just have to go for a small graphic of the arrow - not an ideal solution, but if you need it to display in IE6 then that may be your only option.
