> So then it's just a matter of including a set of fonts that covers every character Have you ever tried to literally do this? You won't succeed. The Google Noto font family is getting there, but I think they're only caught up with like Unicode 6, and we're on Unicode 11 now. There are some recently-added scripts that you won't find in any font. The Unicode tables render them in proprietary fonts that are obfuscated in the PDF, usually without even any information about how to buy them.

The list of font contributors can be found here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/fonts.html http://www.unicode.org/charts/fonts.html. Choice quote: > The Unicode Consortium currently uses over 390 different fonts to publish the code charts and figures for The Unicode Standard. The overwhelming majority of these fonts are specially tailored for this purpose and have been donated to the Consortium with a restricted license for use in documenting the standard. You might be able to reach out to the vendors listed and try to buy the font, but it seems the majority were produced only for Unicode's use.
