FYI, it looks like some of the font symbols you used here don’t show up on some OS/browsers (windows 10 on chrome specifically). Any chance you could switch from font-symbols to LaTeX?
I don’t think the problem is quite so basic at “some symbols not showing up”. On Chrome on Win7, here’s what I see:
That looks like the “tee” or “down tack” symbol, which doesn’t seem to make sense in context. (And if you remove it from the equations in my screenshot, then they seem to make sense and be correct, i.e. they in fact match the formal statements of the VNM axioms.)
So unless I am misunderstanding the notation, something else (and weirder) seems to be going on here.
For me right now (Firefox on Windows 10) neither those mysterious extra symbols nor any placeholders for them appear.
The actual stream of bytes looks something like this: Completeness%3A%20%E2%88%80x%2C%20y%20%E2%88%88%20X%2C%20either%20x%20%E2%89%BC%20y%20or%20y%20%E2%89%BC%5C%5Cu0016%20x
The result of “unquoting” this is: Completeness% [forall]x, y [element] X, either x [leq] y or y [leq]\\u0016 x where the things in square brackets represent single Unicode characters each represented by three UTF-8-encoded octets.
This stuff is all inside a <script type=”text/inject-data”> element, which seems to be some Meteor thing and I don’t know what gets done with it—but presumably it’s being processed by something that interprets backslashed Unicode escapes. \u0016 is an old ASCII control character (yes, the ASCII control characters have Unicode code points assigned to them), the one called SYN. I have absolutely no idea what is the “correct” behaviour for a web browser asked to display a SYN character.

I am particularly confused that the first instance of the less-than symbol doesn’t have the down-tack symbol.
