My memory says that Noto fonts come in many varieties (different
subsets), and that it seemed to me the subsets would not be
*preferred* if Noto itself lacked a codepoint (i.e. some other font
which did provide it might be used even if the relevant Noto variant
was present.  But having said that, at one time my random reading of
wikipedia led me to myanmar-related language or script pages and
after installing the noto sans myanmar font the glyphs did show up.

That page contains U+2300 to U+237F - various signs and a number of
APL symbols.  Do you have Noto Sans Symbols installed ?  A quick
look at the 'Glyphs' page for that font on my zarniwhoop.uk site
(PDF, in firefox) suggests those will all be present.

But to answer the question you actually asked - first install a font
which supports them.  If still missing, look at your preferences in
firefox - in some (other) packages fonts might not show up if the
requested size is too small, not sure if that also applies to
firefox.
