Yes.

If you are using Dejavu Sans Mono, please try a few more fonts. No
need to set a special font for Hebrew, just invoke Emacs like this:
emacs -Q -fn FONT-NAME
where FONT-NAME is the name of some font you have on your system.
Also, please go to some character that precedes a circle, type
"C-u C-x =" again, and show the output here, I want to make sure you
are using the xfthb font backend.
