This site uses a large number of somewhat unusual Unicode characters to show various symbols, such as musical ones (e.g. ♯ and ♭), fingering chart images (e.g. ○ and ◎) and simple decorative arrows (e.g. ⇒ and ⇑). If these look like small white boxes rather than meaningful signs, then please look at the Technical Information for assistance.
