Most probably that's no problem with emacs itself but the face you're
using.  Are you sure that the font you use in emacs supports this
letter?

U+20B0 is GERMAN PENNY SIGN since Unicode 3.2: ₰ – is this the  
same character that you mean?

To see a bit more than just an empty rectangle you need to get a font  
that has this character. (GNU Emacs 23 is no font.) For example:

	Lucida Grande
	Apple Symbols
	Sun Ext-A
	Doulos SIL
	Charis SIL
	Code2000

All of them are proportional fonts. The DejaVu fonts family (based on  
Bitstream Vera) should have ₰ defined: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/.

Yes, it's also known as the GERMAN PENNY SIGN

Why, I use this font:

        DejaVu Sans Mono-10


which should make according to the above written, no?

But it's not there/not available. It's only defined in DejaVu Sans,  
the proportional font. Check yourself with xfd, FontForge ...
