I don't know how to find the ideal font for the missing glyph on my environment which is BSD.
Using the `unicode' command from plan9userspace, for example
unicode 2ff0-2fff
the last three symbols are shown inside emacs as squares with the four hex values inside.
Typing in the search field `2fff' finds `no match found'.
- yarlinghe 9mo agoGood catch — I just pushed an update based on this. The symbols search now supports code-point lookup, so you can search by: U+2FFF 0x2FFF plain hex (2fff, 4–6 digits) This makes it possible to jump straight to a symbol page even when the glyph doesn’t render locally and you only have the code point (like the Emacs/BSD case you described). One limitation to note: some symbols aren’t covered by common or default system fonts, so they may still appear as tofu boxes depending on the font stack. That’s a font coverage issue rather than Unicode itself. Appreciate you calling this out — this was exactly the kind of workflow gap I wanted to catch.
