U+8FBB exists in this and quite a few other fonts, but which font has U+E0100?
(And since this character is outside the BMP, the Basic Multilingual Pane, it
won't be some usual font.)
U+E0100 is not a graphic character in itself, but a "variation selector"
specifying an alternate form for the preceding character; it behaves a
little bit like a combining character. What I don't know is how that's
supposed to be implemented - whether it is done by the font with glyph
substitution, or by some other mechanism that requires support from the
rendering engine.
Both, actually. The font by itself does nothing, it simply indicates
what the rendering engine should do. I suppose (because it's seems the
simplest way here) that this is implemented as a ligature.
