What font is Chrome using to show the symbol? (You can probably determine this by right-clicking it and choosing Inspect Element in Chrome, then selecting the "Computed" [style] panel, and scrolling to Rendered Fonts at the very bottom.)

It sounds like this is a failure of font fallback. cc'ing jdaggett.
