This means that you FO processor is not configured to use font with that 
characters. Many fonts contain only subset of Unicode repertoire. If you 
are on Windows you can configure your FO processor to use Lucida Unicode 
(l_10646.ttf) -- this font contains many characters.

After you register font in FO processor modify following XSL stylesheet 
parameter to include the font into list of fallback fonts used for 
missing characters in primary font:

<xsl:param name="symbol.font.family" 
select="'Symbol,ZapfDingbats,LucidaUnicode'"/>
