How to increase the width of an HTML symbol (special characters et   

How can I increase the width of HTML symbols? For example, I need to display 
the html “overline” symbol that has name entity value ‾ and numeric entity 
value ‾

This is a bar character that I want to display with a wider width than 
normal on my HML page. I want to keep the thickness of this symbol still as 
normal but want to increase its width.

Thanks in advance,
Nam

You can't do it in HTML, but you can do it in CSS: <p 
style="font-stretch:ultra-expanded;"> There are other values, which are 
displayed here: http://www.quackit.com/css/properties/css_font-stretch.cfm
The computer needs to have a stretched/condensed version of the text or it 
won't work.
