The square ones mean that it can't find the symbol you want in the font you have selected ;)

is a Danish letter. It's similar to the sound of "ir" in "bird."

In Spanish, "" is kind of a soft n, like "nj"

The Spanish letter is more of an "ny" sound. In the alphabet it is pronounced "n-yay".

I agree, it's just hard to describe :p

To replace the boxes with numbers in them with an actual character, install Unifont. Although complex glyphs won't render perfectly, "(t)he philosophy behind this font... is that anything meaningful is better than an empty box for a(n) unknown glyph" (from the Debian description of ttf-unifont). In a terminal, run...

sudo apt-get install ttf-unifont

I see that this is true now, I'm looking at this on an iPhone and all the symbols are represented.
