First make sure your system is properly set up to enter such characters. Special operating system install options or third party software might be needed.

Then, make the unicode.ttf symlink in the Second Life directory point to a unicode font that's got the needed characters in it.

From: shell commands to change symlink

cd /path/to/SecondLife/directory/
ln -sf /path/to/unicode/font unicode.ttf
