URXVT doesn't display text symbols

Hello, I am having a problem with URXVT. I've googled the problem and I've tried changing to different fonts, changing letter spacing, and many other things but I still keep getting this strange symbol when using vim. Do I need to use a different font or make some other changes ? how do I get text symbols to show up in URXVT ? all emojis produce a question mark.

My .Xdefault :

*foreground: #00cc00
*foreground_bold: #a8a19f
*cursor: #a8a19f
*background:       #1b1918
!!*background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .7)

Re: URXVT doesn't display text symbols

I figured it out my vim problem, I had to updated my locale.conf and then reboot. But I still do not get text symbols/emojis

Re: URXVT doesn't display text symbols

I changed my letter spacing again after I rebooted and now emojis work ! I feel bad for posting now because I fixed my own problem XD
