I'm afraid it's not that simple. While that "CourierStd" font might have the glyph you're looking for, the "Courier" Base14 font is used when you look at it from FOP's perspective. And that font is an old Type 1 font which doesn't have this glyph. "CourierStd" is only a substitution on the target platform.
You'll need to register the CourierStd (or another font with this glyph) with FOP and adjust everything so this font is used instead. Then you'll get your geometric shapes.
