Missing glyphs with urxvt-unicode
I cannot display some special characters in my urxvt-unicode terminal emulator on Arch Linux.
My setup:
$ cat ~/.Xresources
URxvt.font: xft:Meslo LG S DZ for Powerline:style=RegularForPowerline:size=9,
xft:Pomodoro,
xft:FontAwesome,
xft:icomoon,
xft:octicons
URxvt.scrollBar: false
#include ".Xresources.d/Xresources.dark"
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
All the fonts are installed and work in other applications (for example my lemonbar), only with urxvt I get those typical fallback empty boxes. I also tried different fonts, font sizes and font letterspace. Has someone any other hint for me? In particular I need some special characters included in the fallback fonts defined in my .Xresources, for example the Linux logo U+F612.

The other applications are using additional fallback fonts which you could discover by tracing them, e.g., using strace and looking for open calls.

You can try to lower the size of the fail-over symbol fonts to size 6 or even 5 like:
URxvt.font: xft:Meslo LG S DZ for Powerline:style=RegularForPowerline:size=9,
xft:Pomodoro:size=6,
xft:FontAwesome:size=6,
xft:icomoon:size=6,
xft:octicons:size=6
