Wrong; the specified code is a Unicode thingy that looks just like an 'o' in some fonts, and not at all like an 'o' in others. It's becoming common to differentiate them at least slightly, mostly because in browsers that support IDNs (international domain names) which is basically everything except IE, it is important to be able to tell that difference.

Thank you!

Sheesh.. the very idea that there might be a bug in my OS and/or browser...

I'm not using Windows and Internet Explorer here you know?

Right you are, it's an о not an o (Cyrillic rather than Latin).

There's a plug-in for IE that fixes the lack of IDN support. We need better solutions to the spoofing issue than relying on subtle differences in fonts, but that's another matter.

I see that bollox is up to his old tricks again. Good to see the mods are being their usual efficient selves and banned him pretty quickly. Another fan of the prison here. It's just like the real thing - everybody's innocent!
