Wrong unicode character in latex equation about dvisvgm HOT 3 CLOSED

The generated SVG file is almost correct. However, most SVG renderers/editors don't support SVG font elements. If you open the file with Opera or Batik Squiggle for example, you should get the correct visual result (also see http://dvisvgm.bplaced.net/Screenshots):

Alternatively, you can call dvisvgm with option -n to replace the font elements by paths. These SVG files are usually much more portable.

Concerning, the wrong Unicode character assigned: this issue has been fixed in dvisvgm 1.11. The latest version is 1.14.1 and brings some more improvements. Since you're using a pretty old release (1.8.1), you might want to try a more recent one.
Here's your equation converted with dvisvgm 1.14.1.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the information. Can confirm that indeed using "-n" avoids the issue and that the dvisvgm 1.11 output you share also gives the expected result.

The "-n" option works well for my use case since I'm only interested in the visual presentation, the text equivalent is handled separately.

Will upgrade as soon as the new version makes it into my package management.

I believe this issue can be closed.
