It would be more useful if it omitted the stuff about browsers
and concentrated on displaying (with little images) what the
glyph *ought* to be, alongside the numeric value and the raw
code/fontstuff for the browser to display or foul up as it
wished. 

Using Microsoft Windows font names is usually regarded as rather
poor practice. There should be eight columns: char#ref, icon, and
then the raw code enshrouded in <font> for Times, Helvetica,
Courier, serif, sans-serif, and monospace, so that those whose
browser settings use other default fonts can see them as well as
the three named fonts.
