I can see it in the Emacs buffer as:

OTOH, Firefox shows it as:

I think they are rightful.  How is it displayed in your system?
If emacs-w3m shows some characters, for example, the euro sign,
as boxes, it is a real problem.  In that case, the size of the
hollow box is the same as the maximum-height cursor.

Though I'm not quite familiar with Latin text, I think Mule-UCS
is useless for them.  If you find `the real problem' ;-), please
let us know the url of the page.
