Don't show missing characters

Created attachment 296933 [details] screenshot Because what is shown in the screenshot is not useful, and most people won't know what it means.
What to show instead if someone wants to insert character X but a font is not available covering that character?

If someone searches for a character that isn't supported, we could certainly inform them about the situation (I can provide mockups for that). I'm not sure how we could handle this in the browsing case though, or if that would even be desirable - the goal of the app is to provide a simple interface for discovering interesting characters, rather than finding any arbitrary character.
