IE5 renders U+2011 as it pleases

[Anto'nio Martins-Tuva'lkin]

Attached a dual screen capture made from the popular web browser
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0

Note how the non-breaking hyphen shows properly only when selected (!);
I noticed that this occurs only in italic style (!).

Note how the non-breaking hyphen shows properly only when selected
(!); I noticed that this occurs only in italic style (!).

Does this occur with any italic font at any point size?
If not which font were you using?

IE5 settings:
face: Times New Roman
size: "medium"

CSS settings (collapsed from several classes):
position:absolute;top:411px;left:156px;
width:624px;border:0px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding:12px 22px 12px 22px;
color:#333333;
background:#FFFFFF;
font-size:120%;
font-style:italic;

I guess that point size is 12 pt (= 10 pt x 120%). But this still
happens with other text size browser settings and with varying CSS
declarations and HTML tagging.

After deselection, the rendering of U+2011 stays OK but it reverts to a
square when the page is refreshed.

In the page from which I sent the screen shots, U+2011 is rendered in 7
bits as a XML entity: &#8209;
