As an example, I can use \u16f0 to get a Runic Belgthor, but I can't use
\u10335 or anything like it to get a Gothic Qairthra*; as far as I know, I
Could be because Java doesn't support these characters yet. I suspect that
UTF-16 surrogate sequences are as close as you can get for now. As far a
Java knows,
you've got two surrogate characters and it doesn't know about the actual
character value up there at Gothic Qairthra, or any of the

infrastructure for surrogate pairs which will allow your question to get
answered meaningfully!)
Actually, no proper support for surrogate pairs means no support for

I miswrote when I said infrastructure... there is clearly infrastructure
