Odd; those are UTF-8 characters, and we're emitting the following into the
html:

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf8" />

Perhaps I have the @content attribute wrong?

More specifically, iirc one of the IE View menus allows selecting/specifying
the character encoding.  Does it display UTF-8 for mdoc-export-html output?

If it doesn't detect UTF-8, could you change the @content attribute so that it
does detect as UTF-8, e.g. by using the value "text/html; charset=UTF-8"?

If it does detect as UTF-8, it may be a font issue; within CharMap.exe (iirc),
does U+229E SQUARED PLUS and U+229F SQUARED MINUS have any support?  If so,
which fonts support it? -- perhaps we need to specify the correct font to use
(i.e. whichever font supports those characters).
