It isn't really zilla that does that, it is GTK.

I used pango-view to make this png by asking it for U+34567
via: pango-view --text='U+34567 is: »𴕧«' --output=U34567.png:

As you can see, it uses 3×2, making a wider box.  The hex digits come
from the default font, whatever that is.

It GTK thinks the font is two small for two rows, it generates a glyph
using one row:
