I don't know for sure. Maybe it works to select a certain font from  
the fonts menu (S-mouse-1).

How do *you* see these? The file is just a description of Unicode  
characters in US-ASCII ... The same is true for the file unidata.txt  
in the same directory. Both files can be helpful when customising  
what to show on a C-u C-x = on some character.
