Is there anyway I can tell whether a particular uft8 code-point is

You need some utility to dump out the font’s character-mapping table.

E.g. I wrote a Python script called “code_coverage” here
<https://gitlab.com/ldo/python_freetype_examples/>, which will list
the code blocks defined for any specified font.

In this repo <https://gitlab.com/ldo/python_fontconfig_examples/>,
there is a tool called “coverage_list”. This will scan all the fonts
that fontconfig on your system knows about, to find those that cover a
given code block.
