| Hi Christelle,
I've forwarded this to Sam. You can modify
/webwork2/conf/templates/math/system.templates to make this
go away for the browsers you are using, which are probably having trouble with the unicode character.

Mike,
The arrow is a unicode character. It's defined in math/system.template:
<!--#path style=TEXT text=" → "-->
Well behaved browsers will interpret this character correctly, since
the template declares itself to be using the UTF-8 character set:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The â characters that this person is seeing are what happens if the
arrow is interpreted as ISO-8859-1 ("ISO Latin 1") rather than UTF-8.
It's possible that the browser is ignoring the charset option. In some browsers you can override the document character set.
It's also possible that the math/system.template file was corrupted at
some point, perhaps by being opened in an editor as ISO-8859-1 and then
saved as UTF-8.
For what it's worth, I tested this on Safari, Firefox, and WinIE without problems.
The quick fix is to replace the arrow in the template file with some other character. We used to use " > ".
Hope this helps.
