As can be seen in the attached screen shot, the DrawText of "Hello" works as 
expected but not "𝝰𝝱𝝲𝝱𝝰".
  
  my $f = Wx::Font->new("Noto Mono 24");
  my $g = Wx::PaintDC->new($panel);
     $g->SetFont($font); 
     $g->DrawText("Hello",  400, 400);
     $g->DrawText("𝝰𝝱𝝲𝝱𝝰", 400, 450);

I have tried various fonts (including the default) as well as various encodings 
all with similar (or worse) results.
