That's probably U+0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK, which the
Unicode standard says is also "= Florin currency symbol (Netherlands)".
So try either of "& # x 192 ;" or "& # 402 ;" (in either case, written
all together without any spaces. (Apparently, "& # fnof ;" may also
work but I wouldn't depend on any particular browser supporting it.)
The reason that character does not appear well on all systems is that
it's part of Microsoft's Windows-1252 code page but not of iso-8859-1.
Cheers,
