Can you read this? (if you use Windows please tell me if the unicode thingy works)

I'm about to make a website on phonetics and I'd like to know if I can use this code:
(scroll down a bit to see the table, please, if necesary )

Words

one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

Transcription

wʌn tu θri fɔːr faɪv sɪks sevʌn eɪt naɪn ten

What do you see?

It's just an English representation of numbers on the top, followed by a trasncription of those same words on the bottom, right?

Like wan, tu, tri, for, faiv, siks, sevan, eit, nain, ten

Only not using the traditional English characters.

In IE 6 it looked like the first voting choice, except there was a square instead of an "a" in "Wan".

With Mozilla I see it exactly as you put it in the first voting choice, exept the "a" in "Wan" is an upside-down V.

Windows 98 :/

Yes, that's exactly it

It's indeed an upside-down V (which looks similar to capital A, reason why I wrote it up there), and it's what I wanted you to be able to read Also, "four" has a symbol that looks like a mirrored "C" and many "i" have no dot above them... that's just the phonetic transcription.

I also noticed that using IE 6 there squares for every unusual symbol, while I can perfectly read it using Netscape/Mozilla (I use Win98 too).

hmm... I wonder why Mozilla is the only browser able to see it (so it means you've got the proper font somewhere in your computer) and how I can help IE users read it as well.

Ideas?

Ahh yes I'm using a Mozilla-based offspring as well. I don't think Micro$oft would be willing to give you an answer, so you'd probably be best asking in the Mozilla developer forums.
