Radical
Sometimes I find awesome in unexpected places. Check out these great Unicode glyphs... In the U+2F00 to U+2FEF range there's a set of characters known as the Kangxi Radicals.
Yeah, I mostly like them for their names.

So about the part where they display as unicode squares. Remind me how I fix that again?

Mostly you just need fonts on your system with a full Unicode glyph set... In this case, the first one of these you've got needs to contain the Kangxi character set:
Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Geneva, Verdana, your system's default sans-serif font.
My guess is that you don't have Lucida, so you're falling back to an incomplete Geneva or Verdana. What OS/distro are you running these days?
