Because the font used by the Character tool does not contain glyphs for
all the Unicode characters. When this is the case, the missing glyph is
replaced by a small rectangle.

Currently the answer is no.

To a certain extent: only in the "Favorites" section.

The Character tool has a "Favorites" section. To see it, please
right-click on a character and choose "Show Favorites" from the popup
menu OR look for "Favorites" at the very end of the top combobox.

You can specify the contents of the "Favorites" section by forcing a
"favoriteCharsInTable" user preference.

Linux (bash) example:
---
~$ xxe -putpref favoriteCharsInTable "àéèïöùü" &
---

The difficulty here is to express exotic characters in a way that is
understood by the shell used to start XXE.
