I ♥ Huckabees (I heart Huckabees) shows up fine in the Browser/Composer page but
turns into one of those "Can't do it" squares in the title bar.

Reproducible: Always

It's your OS that draws the windows title and it's the OS that has to be
configured to display this character correctly.

You should have the same problem with internet explorer.

Right click on the background, select properties, go in appearance, select
advanced, the windows above represents elements of the interfaces and you can
select what font to use to draw them below. 
Select a font that includes the heart symbol, and the problem should be solved
for both Mozilla and IE 
The problem has been fixed in bug 9449, but it's quite true that the way to
solve this is a pain, and it would be a plus if Mozilla's font fallback
mechanism could apply here => owner drawn window title.

Incidently, when testing this with http://mail.yahoo.co.jp/, I found a chinese
font that includes the japanese kana used in the title of that page, but XP will
not display the title correctly when selecting that font, the font must somehow
not register them correctly.

Assuming my analyse is right, and closing as invalid in the absence of more info

I'm sure I replied to the effective suggestion; maybe I had too many of the red
pills... :(
