What would be the correct incantation to doing so? The question is which fonts you have installed on your system, not necessarily distributed with TeX. For checking whether you have an appropriate there are useful suggestions (Linux specific) at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162305/find-the-best-font-for-rendering-a-codepoint The answer fc-list ':charset=<hex_code1> <hex_code2>' is still valid, but the very usefull script fc-search-codepoint was written in Python2 so is unusable e.g. on Debian bullseyey. Another approach is to use "Font Support" at https://www.fileformat.info/. e.g. https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fffd/fontsupport.htm Regards Janusz -- , Janusz S.
