You should get log output by FOP telling you about the missing glyphs. I
suggest you look at fonts like Arial Unicode MS or DejaVu Sans which
have a larger pool of glyphs.

Whether you use the character entities or direct UTF-8 characters will
be no difference to FOP as it will always receive the right Unicode
character. But the active font has to have the requested glyph.
