Missing fonts. The given character is missing in the display font
you're using.

Below is the ouput of dpkg --get-selection | grep font on my system (I
use xfs-xtt to be able to use TT fonts):

dfontmgr                                        install

xfonts-thai-ttf                                 deinstall

With all this, displaying Chinese, Korean, Japanese, most language
from India, Greek, all Cyrillic languages, Arabic, Hebrew is
OK. Vietnamese should be OK too. The only one I probably can't display
is Thai (and Klingon probably).

This is with KDE, but I guess the picture is somewhat similar with
Gnome environments.

And, no, I can't read any of these, except Russian..:-)
