08B5, 08BE to 08D3

1AB0 to 1ADD, 1AE0 to 1AEB

1B4E to 1B4F, 1B7F

1C89 to 1C8A

1DCB to 1DFD

20E0, 20E2 to 20E4, 20E7, 20EB to 20EF

2B96

A7CB to A7CF, A7D2, A7D4, A7DA to A7DC, A7F1

FE24 to FE2D

10D40 to 10D65, 10D69 to 10D85, 10D8E to 10D8F

116D0 to 116E3

11BC0 to 11BE1, 11BF0 to 11BF9

11DB0 to 11DDB, 11DE0 to 11DE9

11FB0

16100 to 16139

16D40 to 16D79

16EA0 to 16EB8, 16EBB to 16ED3

1CEC0 to 1CED0, 1CEE0 to 1CEF0

1D2C0 to 1D2D3

1DF25 to 1DF2A

1E5D0 to 1E5FA, 1E5FF

1E7E0 to 1E7E6, 1E7E8 to 1E7EB, 1E7ED to 1E7EE, 1E7F0 to 1E7FE

1F8B2 to 1F8BB, 1F8C0 to 1F8C1, 1F8D0 to 1F8D8

Could you add rendering support for these? These currently show up as outlined boxes due to lack of support.

    Rendering support for specific Unicode codepoints in Windows 11 can be limited due to the fonts installed and their capabilities. The outlined boxes you see typically indicate that the font being used does not support those particular characters. Windows 11 includes a variety of fonts, but not all Unicode characters are supported by default.

    To address the issue of unsupported characters:

    1. Check Installed Fonts: Ensure that you have the necessary fonts installed that support the characters you are trying to render. Some scripts may require specific fonts that are not included by default.
    2. Update Windows: Make sure your Windows 11 is updated to the latest version, as updates may include additional font support or improvements in rendering.
    3. Use Alternative Fonts: If certain characters are not rendering properly, consider using alternative fonts that are known to support a broader range of Unicode characters. For example, fonts like Noto Sans or DejaVu Sans are designed to cover a wide array of Unicode characters.
    4. Font Settings: Adjust the font settings in your applications to ensure they are set to use a font that supports the desired Unicode range.

    Unfortunately, adding support for new Unicode characters is not something that can be done by end-users; it typically requires updates from Microsoft or font developers to include support for those specific codepoints in their font files.
