I solved the problem by embedding a TrueType-Font that has the glyph (DejaVuSans).
The Type1-font that I had wanted to use initially had been converted with fontforge from OTF, and when I converted it again, fontforge told me that Type1-fonts are restricted to ANSI. Converting the OTF font to TTF instead, and embedding that using FOP seems to work well.
