display all unicode characters

  • 772

When I open 'Character Map', not all characters are displayed. For example in script 'balinese' the first character is displayed like this:

 __
|1B|
|00|

But I want the real character, of course. Do I lack fonts? If so is there a meta package?

  1. To display a character you need a font that contains this character. This is also for the character map.

    No font contains all Unicode characters (which are approximatly 1.000.000).

    So install a font containing the unicode block you want to display and select this font in the character map. Then the character should be displayed.
