I'm able to get some decent results for most characters using
something like
WMII_FONT=' -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1'
[see attached: wmii-font_example-13-working.png]
For the terminal I've had to use
-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
to get most characters to display, for example block elements such as
â– â–‚ â–ƒ â–„ â–… â–† â–‡ â–ˆ
These, however, still don't show up in the status or title bars.

Do you know which font-string the terminal is run with? I've never
been able to figure out these font lines properly to know which font,
precisely is being used.
Part of this could be fixed, but I don't know where wmii breaks down.
Furthermore, I'm running wmii-3.6 which is well dated so if you're
running a more up to date version you might be able to have all your
problems fixed. Let's hope someone else who can give better help
responds as well.
Cheers,
Martin
