When I get emails with unicode titles it is not displayed properly

I signed up for spam from Travel Republic just now to figure out what the mystery character was.  (Normally you'd want to provide the email's source as described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Email/ProvidingEmailsForDebugging so we can figure out what's going wrong.)

It turns out it's a \u2600 ☀ "black sun with rays" and this is a font issue; on a desktop computer with font coverage, the WebIDE's DOM Inspector shows that we properly decoded everything.  Some quick experimentation shows we're also missing out on ☂, ☃, ☄, ☢, ☣, and many others.  (But we do have ☁, ★, and ☆!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols is a pretty good reference on the symbols block.

This seems like a system issue, but I'm not seeing an existing bug for this, so I'll file a new one against our fonts in Firefox OS :: General (where the other font bugs seem to have ended up) that blocks this bug.
