Indeed. So now, with<br />
<br />
\documentclass{article}<br />
\usepackage{fontspec}<br />
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Zapfino}<br />
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Gill Sans}<br />
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Andale Mono}<br />
\begin{document}<br />
Here is an exotic character : \char"25E2 or <character written directly here><br />
\end{document}<br />
<br />
The exotic characters are displayed as boxed question marks instead of blanks : we are<br />
getting nearer. Of course, this is because the character does not exist in the Zapfino<br />
font. What should I replace Zapfino with?<br />
