You can use xfontsel (interactive) or fslsfonts (non-interactive) to
check for iso10646-1 fonts. Once you have a list you may want to try
several fonts with xfd to see whether they have the symbols you need.

FWIW I just can't believe you don't have dejavu fonts - they appear to
be included basicly with every Unix-like system these days.
