Certain LaTeX/MathJax math symbols not rendering on stackexchange website

I am a frequent user of the site math.stackexchange.com forum, however some math symbols do not render on Brave, and instead display as generic squares.

Other browsers display the symbols just fine.

I believe the platform uses MathJax.

I tried turning off shields and fussing with the site permissions in Brave, but nothing has worked.

Here is an example of a site where I am experiencing this issue.

My OS is MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and my Brave browser version is
Version 1.73.105 Chromium: 131.0.6778.265 (Official Build) (arm64).

And here is a screenshot of what I am seeing:

@3987182acc8a25d50b9f have you tried changing fonts in the browser? Usually It’s just that your using a font that your OS hasn’t packaged properly. Changing to another typically resolves.

I’m talking about things at brave://settings/fonts.

Examples:

• Square boxes appears instead of Text for Language other than English
• Garbled or gibberish text on multiple web sites
• Font Arial missing in Brave 1.63 (ok in 1.62) - Linux Ubuntu 22.04

But if that doesn’t work, you may want to consider what is mentioned in posts below:

• Garbled or gibberish text on multiple web sites
• Weird, hard-to-read fonts - #9 by odinn

Hmmm. I’ve tried several different fonts in the font settings but none of my websites actually change font. Is this normal?

The following fixed the issue for me: Right-click on a displayed math formula to open MathJax settings. Go to Math Settings → Math Renderer and change to “Common HTML” (mine was previously set to HTML-CSS).
