This unicode character ? won't display in CoffeeCup's code view. Worse, is that it isn't simply not displaying properly it is actually corrupting my code because when I save, preview and publish there is nothing where the unicode was but a question mark. It also doesn't appear to support ASCII Extended set either because CC converts this ? to a.

I never had this problem with Dreamweaver. All of my sites were built with Dreamweaver and when Adobe decided to make everything a subscription based, web-centric business model I looked around for something that wasn't $600 to $800. Please don't tell me that not supporting Unicode and ASCII was intentional.
Also I haven't discovered how to edit a live site for emergency fixes in CC.
That's a P.I.T.A.
Unicode symbol that I'm using that doesn't display properly.

Scott, Thank you for your prompt response. I've got that character set coded into my header
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
Is it too late to get my money back because I've got at least 16 websites that use these character sets?
Limited support for those character sets makes the software completely useless for me.

You could use an html character to ensure it displays in all browsers:
► = ?
The HTML Editor has an extensive character list included.
Not sure if this is what you want...
The Editor has a 'download from web' option so you can pull the live page into the Editor, also, Direct FTP has an editor.
I usually just log in to the hosting's C-panel and make edits there – nothing to download and no software required. I wouldn't do that for major changes, but for correcting mistakes, changing dates or swapping photos, it's fine. You just have to remember that changes made to the live site don't alter your original files, so those would need to be edited at some time to reflect the live edits.
I guess the forum doesn't support those characters. There was an arrow there.
I have a menu at http://bigbendvet.com/ that uses those arrows, by way of the html code. They're on the drop-down.

Thank you for your help that code works perfectly.
Another of the same problem: please note the type of a in The Codex of Aman that is being used in the title and throughout the document. There is supposed to be a diacritical over the top of that. Dreamweaver has no problems with that code either and now I've lost that too.
I found an online library of the Unicode for HTML to replace that character the a and other symbols I have traditionally used.

Thank you again very much for pointing me in the right direction.

I would use HTML characters to ensure all browsers display the correct marks. 
From within the Editor, you can find the a with macron under the Characters tab > Latin Extended A Characters:

I was worried that I'd wasted my money on a product that wouldn't do the work I need to get done.
I panicked. Thank you paint brush.

You're welcome, Auriel
I have several editors
, none of them are 'perfect', but the CC one is (for me) the easiest, most efficient. I don't spend time trying to find/learn all the shortcuts and hidden features. Instead, I get things done.
It just takes a little time when you're used to doing things another way. Anything else you need, just ask – there's plenty of helpful people here.
