Just an addendum to my comment above. I would describe this as a serious problem with a default install of XUbuntu. I spent two days trying to work out why my Qt based app was not displaying certain unicode characters (eg cheese wedge). It was just showing the white rectangle. Other apps, eg Geany, gnome-console, were showing the cheese just fine; so I thought I had a bug. I didn't know that Qt apps could not display colour emojis. If they cannot display colour unicode characters, then they should display the grey equivalent instead of just displaying a white rectangle. As I say, I spent two days trying to understand why my app was not displaying certain characters when I knew that the font it was using did support that character.
