Well I first realise this problem when my friend used some abnormal textual symbols in a whatsapp group name and it appears to me as blank spaces. A good example will be on this rom title developed by @vpart_aeip called: [Kernel][GB 2.3.6] [☣Gingger+ ☣]
On my phone, it will look like this [Kernel][GB 2.3.6] [ Gingger+ ], where the "☣" symbols are replaced with spaces.
I notice my other friend who owns a samsung galaxy nexus as well as other friends with iphones were able to see these symbols that i'm not able to. So my real question is, is there anyway for me to be able to view these symbols as well?

No, I couldn't but I can see from my laptop
gah i give up, i've tried even installing quivira 3.8 and openGNU fonts which claimed to be the most complete true type fonts out there but to no avail... I'll just accept the fact that this phone is not meant to display those characters lol

Hello. Is there any chance to have HTC Touch Input (from HTC Hero 1.5 default rom) with national alphabet and symbols instead of Android keyboard? When I install it, there is no Russian language, even after editing xml file and rebooting.

no the SlideMeRoot 5r1 but you mighty need ubuntu that's what i used. first rename the rom i just added 2 at the end
in ubuntu i deleted a fie in the bin folder (logwarpper) from SMR5r1 rom
flash the rom (renamed) then flash the regular rom (no wipe)
note: download the regular rom and put on SD first
EX: slideMeRood5r1 regular
SlideMeRoot5r2 renamed
hope im clear sorry
Eh, don't do all of that. Just change your Theme (press your menu key at the desktop screen, then select "MyModes", then "Change my Theme") to Nest. It already has the bubbles removed on the latest Slidemeroot5, but the theme has to be Nest. You can change the background after you change to that theme.
I only removed it on the Default theme, as I knew people was going to say ( But, I liked the Bubbles!! )

I'm not sure how anyone can like the bubbles... they're so obnoxious. Makes the screen too cluttered-like, but what do I know - all personal preference I guess.

the stock nest theme is in system/framework its com.htc.resources.apk.. you can pull this from one of his slidemeroms and push it to your rom and itll have them removed. If you want to do it the hard way, you pull that file from your phone, open it up, all the png files in it that say container in the name are the bubbles. replace bubbles with a blank icon named the same.

If you are talking about what I think you are - there is a thread located here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872222
It is obviously a little more work than just changing what it says, but it can be done.
Yup I used mystery's guide to change mine.
If you have the AOSP Lock screen mod it also shows up on there.

This mod will install full Arabic support on Galaxy Tabs running Overcome 3.1.0 [Kratos] (may work on earlier editions but no guarantees- try at your own risk!)
This is a CWM flashable zip and it includes a script to wipe dalvik cache after installation so all you need to do is install in CWM and reboot
We now have proper Arabic support with reading and the stock Gingerbread Arabic keyboard is also included for input support
After installing, make sure the input method is set to Samsung Keypad (default) and press the Settings key to the left of the Go key. In the next screen, tab Input Language and select Arabic then press the back key twice. You will now have an Arabic keyboard
Note: This has been tested on Overcome 3.0.0 [Kratos] but may work on others.
Please report if you get it working on other ROMs and I will add a note
Download: 004002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_Full_Arabic_Patch.zip

No actually the input support (keyboard) is not.
The files which enable reading and correct character shaping were made by alterbridge86 using madmack's script.
The keyboard / input patch was made by me

It was actually quite simple and didn't take much time at all but I do not know how many firmwares this will work on as I have only tested it with Icarus.

I know, but since the Arabic patch will probably change the framework resources then I asked if I could get the default gingerbread icons.

Ah...
Well yes. This patch does change the framework. If you want stock Gingerbread then the path I would recommend is to flash the stock theme patch, reboot at least once and then flash the arabic patch. You can get both patches from teamovercome.net in the Downloads section. I tried that combination yesterday and it works fine

I am also interested in a description on how you did it.
I would like to do something similar with full japanese support. The fonts in the european rom look ugly, and the japanese keyboards in the market are not really good...

To be honest it's just a matter of finding of finding, extracting, deodexing and zipaligning the keyboard from a compatible stock ROM that has the language you need. Once you are sure the files work, you can package them in a flashable zip to make it easy to apply. This will also patch the framework and other system files and that's why I stress the need for compatibility.
