In my setup, there are a few characters in etc/HELLO (four
mathematical symbols and two extended latin chars from vietnamese, at
least) which are not displayed; I mean, they appear as whitespace, not
the "no font available" empty box. However, describe-char says that
there's a font for them:

If I type these characters in *scratch*, via ucs-insert, three of them
are displayed correctly (U+2208, U+2022 and U+25A1), and the other
three appear as empty boxes (though Emacs still thinks it has a font
for them).

This is what describe-char says for the three non-visible characters
in *scratch*:
