This works fine for me, and I get an appropriate character (not just the hex box). According to `describe-char' it's rendered using the Symbola font. Do you have that installed? (It's the "font-symbola" package on Debian I believe.) For some time I've had: (set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Symbola" nil 'prepend) in ~/.emacs.el, but I just tested without and it doesn't seem to be required. > Arguably this is a limitation of emacs or fontconfig, or I've installed > too many fonts on my system, or I've installed too few fonts (because > after all that computation it just renders a box with hext digits 01F4DD > in it instead of showing the MEMO icon).
