Courier New has a very limited set of characters available for
display. I would suggest searching online for some free fonts that
have a larger set of supported characters. I'm fond of Deja Vu Sans
Mono, which has a reasonably large character set, but I'm not sure if
it has the specific ones you want (or whether the style suits you).
There are plenty of others out there as well.
