All of the browsers show tofu in the titlebar, which is to be expected. I would expect it to be rendered in the page though. From the glyph's appearance in Firefox, I'd guess that it is Code2000. Opera is getting it from somewhere else.

I have to manually set the default serif font from TNR to Code 2000 to
get the glyph to show up. (It shows, even though the surrounding font is
sans-serif). I suspect that having selected TNR will block the Latin
range for some reason, so that other fonts are not considered. Usually
Firefox seems quite aggressive in locating glyphs on my system - it
happily uses non-standard fonts for symbols - whatever is available.
What does tofu look like?
