Special characters in menus

I have some menus containing special characters (of the sort found in Dingbats or Apple Symbols). These were created in IB 3.0 by simply using "Insert Character" from the Special Characters panel.
All works great until testing on some Tiger machines. Then, in the menu display only, a few (not all) of the characters are substituted with the "missing character" open rectangle.
How is IB storing this font/character information? Is there some system entity is looking at odd unicodes and deciding which font to use? If so, what is that?
This is just a cosmetic fix but the menu display is going to send Tiger users running for tech support, so I like to figure it now if possible....
