Description

The unicode symbols for '↘' "south west arrow" (U+2198) and '↙' "south east
arrow" (U+2199) are reversed in the edit window - i.e. the arrow that should
point south east points south west and vice versa.

The same thing happens in <pre> formatted blocks, and in the edit window at
Bugzilla. [[en:User:Thryduulf/Arrows]] shows the problem. See also [[en:Cousin
chart]] for a real-world example.

I encounter the problem when using my linux PC, but all arrows display correctly
on my windows XP machine (I don't have any other platforms to test it on).

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
OS: Linux
Platform: PC

(Your image is showing the correct direction in <pre> blocks, and the incorrect
direction outside the <pre>.)

Sounds like you have a bad font. If this was a default font that shipped with your
distribution, report the problem to the distro maintainer to make sure they can
have a look (eg there may be an updated version of the font they can put out an
updater for).

Looks just fine on an Ubuntu Breezy box here.
