HOWEVER!
Some characters do not show up on DU, namely some math symbols, and some characters like < - and - > (without the space) since they denote comments in the good old HTML language.
And some characters are just magic, because DU has extensive filtering against attackers, and the equipment blocks some, out of caution. This will return a failure to post or preview that seems impossible to get around until you start deleting characters.
It looks like a network timeout, so harder to diagnose.
Preview is your friend. Unless you are using a really off the wall browser with crazy extensions, what you see is what others get.
