A few special characters not displaying correctly on my work copy of IE6 (yes IE6, sigh).

specifically, ones mentioned above as non-ansi/delphi/gratian compliant:
Bjorn Svartsson http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=2371
Displays a box instead of the ogneck (o) character.

but Leylii is displaying correctly:
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=2921

and a few others that really are illogical:
Tristana RAEvenlock won't display:
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=2131
(displays a ? instead of hte AE ligature)
but AEdward will:
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=773
as do the other other half dozen people with names starting with AE
and AliAEka with it in hte middle of her name:
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=2992
or AE testcase:
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=2994

also not displaying:
Martin of Lyos
http://www.sca.org.au/canon/person.php?id=202
(displays a ? instead of an f - well I presume it should be an f)

Teffania to confim this occurs on other browsers when she gets home, and that they are entered into gratian correctly. If this only affects IE6, this is not prefereable, but IE6 is obsolete. If special characters have been lost in some upgrade, that is more problematic.
