seems like that issue is being worked on: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62435

Chrome has similar problems on Windows. For example, the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols work in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and even Notepad, but not in Chrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbo... http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=109844

Same for iOS. Google Voice app won't render emoji. Why?
