Neither my browser nor my MUA display this symbol properly, too ;)
You probably should have appropriate fonts on the destination system.
AFAIK, the Arial font is used for the Windows build whereas Helvetica is
used for Linux. These are screen fonts for displaying. If you cannot
change the gschem sources and recompile, you cannot change them.
For printing you need corresponding printing fonts (if the issue is with
printed output from gschem). Your Postscript interpreter (such as
ghostscript on linux systems) may substitute fonts when displaying .ps
files if it cannot find the font specified in the file.  You can
manually replace the font in ps files using e.g. your favorite text
editor (just find the string 'Helvetica' and change it) or, if you have
such a possibility, the command sed 's/Helvetica/YourFavoriteFont/'.
