Unicode is a character encoding, not a font. The "text encoding" menu
option is grayed out in Firefox, so I also see the double-dotted i,
upside-down question mark, and fraction, but I know the language and
can mentally substitute the a-acute that the string of gobbledygook is
supposed to be: kalács. (Using the College of Heralds' "Da'ud
notation": kal{a'}cs.)

(I think the gibberish is a result of all software nowadays believing
that it is smarter than its users.)
