Mmm... okay, so I was in the right path... Note there's a slightly difference between the URL you send: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_drawing_character ^ And mine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character ^ Look like the same but they're not ;-) > This morning I see that the required characters are U+2E22 TOP LEFT HALF > BRACKET and U+2E23 TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET which are not in box-drawing. > HALF BRACKETs are visible here. > http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Unicode/Supplemental_Punctuation Ah, let's see...

Perusing the whole output of fc-list is no improvement. See the above link. There's a list of fonts that seem to have support for the said unicode characters. You can grab more information for other unicode characters from that same site, for instance: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2E22/browsertest.htm Mmm, I have tried with DejaVu Sans inside OOo Writer and it does not work, it renders a square symbol :-?
