You are talking about . (U+22C4 DIAMOND OPERATOR). It's an alternative symbol to the one normally used in both GNU APL internally as as well the Emacs mode: ◊ (U+25CA LOZENGE).
I suggest you change your mapping to output the latter instead of the former. The former usually renders terribly in most fonts, which is what you are experiencing right now. In Emacs mode you can type LOZENGE by enabling the APL-Z mode and typing .` (i.e. a preiod followed by backquote).
