Font with compreensive unicode

Font with compreensive unicode

[Maurí­cio]

Hi,

I'm using ConTeXt to create a small table of
unicode characters. Below is my current test. The
codes are:

U+2019 is a single quotation mark
U+2610 should be a ballot box
U+226b should be a "much greater than" (>>)
U+2115 should be the N as used to represent the natural numbers

I get 2019 right, 2610 becomes a blank,
226b becomes just a 'b' and 2115 is also
a blank. The choosen font is just one I
selected (randomly) for testing.

Is there a font I could select that would give
me a wide set of unicode characters? Actually: is
the choice of font the reason for the missing
characters, or I'm just doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Maurício

You can also use fallbacks to fill in any holes you may encounter...
