This problem also shows up when using the Adobe Source Code Pro font, which is 
[missing a few 
characters|https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/issues/172] commonly 
found in README files, for example. The only font I could find that displays 
the "U+2714 ✔ HEAVY CHECK MARK" character is DejaVu Sans Mono. I'm attaching 
screenshots that show the character in NetBeans using both DejaVu Sans Mono and 
Source Code Pro Medium.

On Ubuntu, it would be great to be able to define DejaVu Sans Mono as a general 
fallback font.
