Unicode support

See original GitHub issue

Avalonia doesn’t seem to support Unicode. Is this planned for the future?

Repro steps:

git clone git@github.com:AvaloniaUI/avalonia-dotnet-templates.git
dotnet new --install .\avalonia-dotnet-templates\
dotnet new avalonia.app -o AvaloniaUnicodeTest
# Add unicode character to MainWindow.xaml, e.g. ▶
dotnet run
# You'll see something like □ instead of the unicode character

I’m using Avalonia 0.6.1 and Avalonia.Desktop 0.6.1 on Windows 10.
