Hi everyone,

When I convert an HTML page that contains any of the following entities:

≤ ≥ ≤ ≥

They all render as a plain equals symbol (=) instead of less than or equal to, or greater than or equal to.

Any ideas? Currently I've been doing a search and replace using <u>&lt</u> and <u>&gt</u>.

This occurs on both Palm and Pocket PC which are the two platforms I have available for testing.

Those characters are only available in the character set for Unicode, so it will only work if you set the output encoding to Unicode and you are viewing the document on a device that uses Unicode and the font used has those characters. That possibly includes Pocket PC, but certainly excludes Palm OS. So to be cross-platform, you would need to use <= and >=.
