I'm not convinced this statement is true : it is my belief
that a font can be "truly Unicode-compliant", yet still
contain only a small fraction of the full set of glyphs
in the Unicode standard. Lucida Sans Unicode certainly
doesn't contain the glyphs you referenced, but after an
enormous battle with Microsoft Office I was able to prove
that they do indeed exist in Arial Unicode MS.
