UTF-8 GUI problem

Hey guys. After following the gentoo UTF-8 guide and installing fonts that supposedly are utf-8 aware, I'm still getting utf symbols represented by numbers inside a square. I'm currently using XFCE and set my fonts via the Appearance > Fonts tab. Any ideas?

Install a font with better coverage? "UTF-8 aware" just means the font identifies its characters using the Unicode numbers; it says nothing about what characters it has.
