Interestingly, I see the glyphs in Mutt running in Gnome Terminal and in
Vim as I edit this in the same Gnome Terminal.  My font is one
installed locally, Droid Sans Mono Slashed which provides the zero
character with a slash.

I know that there is keyboard sequence in Gnome Terminal (Ctl-Shift-E
then Space) to bring up a menu to select Unicode glyphs.

I use the cone e-mail client in rxvt-unicode with the Terminus bitmap font and I see only the icon next to `jmtd@debian.org`. Apart from that, the first line of the signature has two squares, the third line one and the post by Nate has a single square, too.

I can view the glyphs correctly by saving the mail as text file and opening it with mousepad. `aptitude search ~inoto` returns the following here:

| idA fonts-noto-color-emoji    - color emoji font from Google
| i A fonts-noto-core           - "No Tofu" font families with large
| i A fonts-noto-extra          - "No Tofu" font families with large
| i A fonts-noto-mono           - "No Tofu" monospaced font family wi
| i A fonts-noto-ui-core

I am pretty fine with _not_ seeing the correct glyphs by default given that I do not want fancy colorful icons in my terminals anyway :)

YMMV
