The following characters simply contain a shaded square instead of a
proper glyph. I think it is inappropriate to apply a default glyph to
characters the font doesn't support, please leave it up to the font
rendering system to render something for unknown characters. Most of the
below seem to be for the recently released Unicode 5.2. If you are using
the square glyphs as some sort of TODO list, it would be good if you
could not ship them in Debian. There is a similarly weird but different
glyph spread over the private use area, U+E65B is an example.

U+A6A0 to U+A6F7
U+09FB
U+1677 to U+18F5
U+A830 to U+A839
U+0900
U+094E
U+0979
U+097A
U+A8E0 to U+A8FB
U+1CD0 to U+1CED
U+A980 to U+A9DF
U+A4D0 to U+A4FF
U+ABC0 to U+ABF9
U+0800 to U+083E
U+1A20 to U+1AAD
U+AA80 to U+AADF

Since I'm reviewing using the GNOME character map, there are probably
more that are obscured by other fonts.
