"Tofu" is the code of the character in hex, displayed in a box -- this
is how we by default show on GUI frames characters for which Emacs
couldn't find a suitable font.
But that isn't gibberish, in any shape or form. It is one of the
accepted ways of showing a character for which there's no font; other
applications do the same (and don't bother to show any message about
that, btw).
