Yes. OK, the challenge: please give a non-proprietary solution to show
both the Chinese and the accents, in the title when browsing the
following HTML under iceweasel. Thanks.

Unfortunatelly I don't know any single free Unicode font which covers
both, major parts of CJK glyphs and relevant parts of European specific
stuff, not even talking about Cyrillic derivates.

The usual workaround for this problem is picking glyphs for different
ranges from different fonts and sticking them together on rendering.
IIRC libpango does that and many applications use it, even when it tends
to be slow sometimes. Alternative implementations are used in current
xterm and rxvt-unicode.

But this requires more extra work in Icewm, I don't know what Marco
thinks about that.

If that's the problem, you need to change font configurations in icewm
(maybe the defaults could be better, ...)

You need to put comma separated list of fonts into all icewm font settings...

TitleFontNameXft="font1,font2"

It's a little clumsy, but that's it for now.

I could add global default font fallbacks, but that's more involved.

Regards,
Mark
