Re: Font support for utf8

Hi,
 
Is there anyway I can tell whether a particular uft8 code-point is
actually implemented in my terminal's current font?

The only way I know is to write a small program to
print it.  That is what I did for various UTF-8
characters I like to use.

For example, 0xe2 0x96 0x89 "?" "Left Seven Eighths Block" is often
displayed as the i-don't-know-what-this-is glyph.

FWIW, 7/8 does not print for me on Linux and *BSD, but
on all systems Emacs will print it plus many more that
does not show up on xterm and other terms.

Thanks.
