Thanks, jr. I'm running GuixSD and I believe XDG_DATA_DIRS is set
correctly:

$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/gnu/store/daxn8m96wk2d2jnz4mxllhk34iv5gjqp-shared-mime-info-1.9/share:/gnu/store/cgy82g6yv8l1chawgch47zh23b0jll3l-glib-2.56.3/share:/gnu/store/l35xlc0hk86qw7kwli8lkskdkxskxsif-gtk+-3.24.9/share:/gnu/store/fbf0h779z46cl55vdciv00m8s0ccfnyb-emacs-26.2/share:/gnu/store/daxn8m96wk2d2jnz4mxllhk34iv5gjqp-shared-mime-info-1.9/share:/gnu/store/cgy82g6yv8l1chawgch47zh23b0jll3l-glib-2.56.3/share:/gnu/store/l35xlc0hk86qw7kwli8lkskdkxskxsif-gtk+-3.24.9/share:/gnu/store/fbf0h779z46cl55vdciv00m8s0ccfnyb-emacs-26.2/share:/home/gjohnson/.guix-profile/share:/home/gjohnson/.guix-profile/share:/run/current-system/profile/share:/home/gjohnson/.guix-profile/share:/run/current-system/profile/share

I just see boxes in IceCat and Ungoogled-Chromium wherever Unicode
symbols are supposed to appear, so I don't know if there is another font
package that I need to install or some browser-specific configuration
files that I need to edit.
