This means that the document class you're using formats section  
headings in the sans serif family. So you need to either change this  
(I'm sure there are packages for customizing this; try sectsty,  
perhaps), or else tell fontspec to load a sans serif font that  
includes all the characters you need (using \setsansfont in addition  
to \setmainfont).

Of course, the "sans" font doesn't have to be truly sans.... a quick  
workaround would be to load Charis SIL for the sans family as well as  
the main family!
