Hi Burr, yeah not every font has every single unicode character glyph inside of it, so that's pretty normal that you might not see it rendered in IE unless you get it to use a font where you know that character exists.
There is a system utility program called "Character Map" which I think may help you out - it lets you examine all the characters that are contained within a particular font.
Go to Start > Run and put in charmap.exe to launch it.
In the "Search for" box there you can enter in a number for the unicode character you want and see if the font has it or not.
I don't think that ascii actually has a printable character for that - you can see all the ascii characters here:
http://www.asciitable.com/
So that's probably a unicode character that you're talking about and not an ascii character at all.

You probably want to use a hex editor if you want to edit a file by entering in raw number values instead of a text editor.
If you have visual studio, go the the Open button when you open a file and click on the little down arrow on the right-hand side of it and choose "Open with" and choose "Binary Editor" instead of opening it as text. That will let you edit raw number values of a file instead of working with it as regular text.
Otherwise if you don't have Visual Studio, try searching for "hex editor" to find a file editor that will work like that, that's what they're normally called.
