Bin Chen tracked down the issue. The problem is font fallback. A very simple
workaround (substitute "Arial Unicode MS" with any full-Unicode font you have
on your system):

We haven't figured out what the correct fix for this is yet. (Perhaps the Pango
font selection patch would have helped here, but it has not been re-submitted.)
