Many of the symbols needed by Pe̍h-oē-jī are quite common. There are several that are somewhat rare: n3, N3, m7 (?).

Most modern browsers have a way to used mixed fonts. If the font set by the web page does not contain a symbol, the browser has a way to find the appropriate symbol within another font. Unfortunately, IE does not have this feature.
