I reached exactly the same conclusion. Still, I think Emacs should be
able to recover. I assume emacs is able to distinguish between empty
boxes and real characters, so it could try to change the font until it
finds a better one.
A simpler solution would be to make the defaults work better. Why not
have Emacs use GNU Unifont by default (assuming they do contain the
characters, which I think)?
