Pay attention to details

So I'm making a new site that moves between days in a week and the display looks like this:

◄ Wednesday ►

So I at first had it working in Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari with no problems. For some reason, IE7 would not work! I figured maybe I set my character encoding incorrectly and it wasn't on UTF-8. I checked the encoding of the browser, researched all over the damn place, and found this site, tried all the different encodings but continued to fail.

....annoyed and Mother F'ing Microsoft

I finally paid closer attention to the code and I left out the damn semicolon. I give credit to Microsoft for once. If the encoding is supposed to have a semicolon, please enforce that. What the hell? Just think, all those young up and coming HTML nerds will be hacking away on Firefox or Chrome because they're more popular to that crowd. Meanwhile, more than half their audience will miss out on the little wingding in the corner.
