I'm quite sure that -gnu-unifont-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 is a
font name. If I put

Emacs*font: -gnu-unifont-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 

in my ~/.Xdefaults and start Emacs and comment out the Fontset part
above all unicode chars are displayed correctly, but this font causes
some very strange behaviour (Some spaces are wider than
others.). Therefore I wanted to use it only when it'r really needed.

I cannot use the .Xdefault lines you gave me, because there are some
missing chars with it I need, e.g. the unicode thread arrows I use with
Gnus. (Look at my.gnus.org for "Gnus displaying threads using Unicode
chars and tree style Summary".)

But thanks a lot for your quick answer.
