IE 7 does the same as Firefox. But those are very special characters in Japanese writing, and hook up to the previous character. Assuming you could get those characters (the ellips particularly) to display on their own line, it would still be wrong, as the 3 dots should be vertical. The other 2 characters as well are different in vertical writing. For IE, you could use vertical text-writing, that works quite well. You will have to search MSDN for the details, I don't have the reference at hand. But only IE supports that. Using images is a suitable alternative.
