℗
The phonorecord copyright symbol is ℗ (U+2117), not ⓟ (U+24C5).
The regular copyright symbol is © (U+00A9).

Analysis
When the requested font is not available, I believe Firefox selects the first font, in alphabetical order, that contains the glyphs. So in my case it uses Arial Unicode MS for the missing fonts.
On Windows XP with ClearType on, Lucida Sans Unicode looks great. With standard smoothing, however, at some point sizes the hinting causes the P to be off-center within the circle. MS Reference Sans Serif does better when ClearType is off. I haven't seen what it does with ClearType on.
MS Gothic / MS PGothic / MS Mincho / MS PMincho have no hinting or smoothing, so they're basically useless.
Availability
Lucida Sans Unicode should be available on all Windows 98, 2000, XP systems. Not on Windows ME. Server 2003 and Vista status unknown.
Lucida Grande is the equivalent of Lucida Sans Unicode on Mac OS X.
MS Reference Sans Serif will only be present if Encarta or Office 2007 is installed.
More fonts to try
- Recent versions of DejaVu Sans
- Lucida Grande on Mac OS X
- Lucida Sans (comes with StarOffice, JRE, maybe OpenOffice?)
- various other pan-Unicode fonts with Letterlike Symbols support - see http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html
