I had the same issue in xterm. Changing fonts didn't fix it, but switching to urxvt (with the same font) did. It seems like there's something screwy with xterm's unicode support.

It was indeed a font issue, the one I used did not contain the braille characters. Because the same problem existed on my gettys I thought it was an encoding issue or something else. Using terminus font at the moment (as suggested) and it works perfectly fine.
Well, I am glad I was not the only one affected by this. I wish there were at least an option to decide which characters get displayed.
You need to enable unicode in xterm - i.e. use uxterm instead of xterm.
I already have unicode enabled in xterm. And Braille does show up if I switch to the default bitmap font, but for whatever reason it doesn't show up when I use Dejavu Sans Mono (which I prefer). urxvt has no such problem.
