Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with unifont 1:8.0.01-1 and adding spaces after some unicode characters will cause them to look like unicode placeholder characters (a square with some characters in it). An example would be the 2 byte unicode character "D83C DFC1" which is drawn as a flag and looks this: 🏁
If I'm adding a space after the flag it looks this: 🏁 
But it seems some browsers are drawing the space correctly but on system components the unicode placeholder character is shown. For this reason I have also added the flag and a space at the beginning of the summary to cause it to be shown in the title of the window manager.
