Code2000 has a number of them, but as I said further up this thread, this font does not display very well in Vim, or in a bunch of other text editors. However WindowServer handles it just fine (i.e. when it is forced to use the font in order to display characters in the title bar of a window, it does so correctly), as does Terminal. > BTW, do you really have files that need characters in this range?

This is the order in which you should sort Unicode text if you have absolutely no idea of what locale to base your ordering on. Most of the time you've got some idea of how a set of people reading a list would expect the items to be sorted, but this is the ordering of last resort. If you restrict yourself to characters representable in 16 bits (i.e. ordinal <= U+FFFF), the last ones in the default ordering appear to be characters that are somewhere in the U+FA70 and U+FAFF range. And so, I'm interested in being able to display these.
