Hello and welcome.

At first make sure you have read https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UTF-8
Also please tell us the output of emerge --info and which application you use to display this pdf.

In general, for font issues, i'd suggest that a better starting point would be the "Fonts" page on the wiki, which also contains concrete suggestions of packages to install for extended Unicode coverage. (Although looking at it now, it could do with some reworking - i'll try to do so.) That page also links to other pages that can be helpful depending on the context, such as the "Fontconfig" page, for configuring fonts in a GUI context (including in GUI-based terminal emulators); the "Fonts/Console" page, for dealing with fonts on the console / in Virtual Terminals; and the "Fonts/Background page", which gives an overview of information which can be helpful in understanding font-related problems.
