Some unicode arrows (❯) don't show up on

Question

I am trying to display a unicode arrow ❯ on my website.

I tried:

❯
❯
❯

...all with the same results: the symbol displays fine on desktop browsers, but displays an empty square on the iPhone (iOS 7.0.4).

In fact, if I load the following page on my iPhone: [removed], then that same character appears as an empty square on the iPhone.

Any idea how to display a "❯" symbol on the iPhone?

The character U+276F simply does not belong to most fonts, and you are probably using a font that does not contain it.

By the way, it is not an arrow but HEAVY RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT. Consider finding a more widely supported character for your purposes, or using an image, if you need an arrow different from the commonly available arrpws.
