I have a console application which is displaying special symbols like

☢ ☍ ⌘ ✰ ⣿ ⚡ ☯ ⚑  ↺  ⤴  ⤵

No matter where - putty(UTF8+Use Unicode line drawing, but I guess it's not client issue), local console, SecureCRT - I can't see them. Instead just squares. Here is my shell env variables

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

TERM=xterm

Any idea how to make terminal to show those symbols correctly?

Update

Glyph I am interested in

python -c 'print u"u22c5 u22c5u22c5 u201d u2019 u266f u2622 u260d u2318 u2730 " 

    u"u28ff u26a1 u262f u2691 u21ba u2934 u2935 u2206 u231a u2240u2207 u2707 " 

    u"u26a0xa0u25d4 u26a1xa0u21af xbf u2a02 u2716 u21e3 u21e1  u2801 u2809 "

    u"u2785 u2786 u2787 u2788 u2789 u25b9xa0u254d u25aa u26af u2692 u25cc " 

    u"u21c5 u21a1 u219f u229b u267a ".encode("utf8")'
