A:
According to this page, that symbol doesn't show in IE6 at all.
Symbol Character Numeric Description
⇓ ⇓ ⇓ Down double arrow - - * Doesn't show with MS IE6
If you really need that particular symbol, you may just have to go for a small graphic of the arrow - not an ideal solution, but if you need it to display in IE6 then that may be your only option.

A:
Yes, it is possible... But you'll need to explicitly tell IE which font to find it in. For instance:
<span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS"> ⇓ </span>
should produce ⇓ in most browsers.

It does, yes. It won't on this page because the site strips CSS.
