The scissors appears to be what ZapfDingbats displays for
the default unmapped character. You have to use proper
Unicode codepoints for the characters you want to see, for
example, try
  <fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="ZapfDingbats">
   &#x27AF;
  </fo:block>

You can find the Unicode code points for the characters
in the ZapfDingbats font in the FOP soure distribution
in src/codegen/charlist.xml, all the mappings with
adobe-name="aNNN" with some NNN number.
