Notice that if you search for the word "Unicode" on this page, Chrome highlights it with no problem. I presume it's the same for other modern browsers.
Firefox 28 for Win: characters are not rendered fixed size spaced and words are not recognized.
IE 11: well supported, renders as fixed size and words can be found with the search function as in Chrome.
I'm a bit surprised :) tbh I was quite expecting the opposite.
Not Firefox, however. I assume it treats it as special characters, despite their appearance are clearly similar to the regular Latin characters they represent.
