I think so, yes. I'm using gvim with GTK2 GUI so glyphs not found in my
'guifont' ("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 8") are borrowed from other
installed fonts. In Console Vim you're dependent on the terminal for the
font, and a non-Unicode terminal can't display the above "special"
characters anyway.

That proves you've got at least one font with the appropriate glyphs. I
don't know about Opera, but Firefox (like my gvim) uses GTK2, Pango, and
the like (as shown in about:buildconfig ) so it will "borrow" glyphs the
same way. KDE programs (like Konqueror), OTOH, use Qt to interface with
the screen, and I don't know how /that/ works. You might try to compare
the font settings of your various browsers.
Here too, I see the correct glyphs in SeaMonkey 2.0a3pre (based on the
same Gecko rendering engine as Firefox 3.1b3pre), but not in Konqueror
3.5.10.
