This sounds like the font you're using simply doesn't happen to have
a diamond (or anything else) at that code point. It sounds like
you're expecting to use the OEM character set, but getting an ANSI
character set.

Obvious choices are to choose a font with the OEM character set, or
to use an entirely different font that'll support the symbol you need
to display -- though this will often be at a different code point.
E.g. the Symbol font (which is part of a normal Windows installation,
IIRC) has a diamond at code point 0xA8 from the looks of things.
