I assume you just copy and pasted characters into the comment box from another source? I just played 'newspaper ransom note' and used the letters you used and that seems to work fine. The weird symbol you have for an 's' I replaced with the lower case - which is conveniently the same as a small capital.
Edit: Yup. I downloaded BabelPad and can now insert 'ᴋ'. It looks like the unicode section called "Latin Extended-D" (Starting at &#A720) that you used for S and F doesn't display correctly. The ᴀ area does.
I got bored of doing that and just put my text through
def sc(x): return unicode(x).translate(dict([(ord('a') + i, c) for i, c in enumerate(u"ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘ-ʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ")]))I find it odd that Unicode doesn't have a Latin Letter Small Capital Q but does have all the others.
Iᴛ ɪꜱ ǫᴜɪᴛᴇ ᴏᴅᴅ, ʏᴇꜱ.
Why oh why does unicode do fonts?
Small capital letters are used in the International Phonetic Alphabet and extensions thereof.
