Help with unicode

Question

I am trying to use alt codes to type certain Unicode characters (these are the ones-->https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10380.pdf), but whenever I use them they show up a a blank box like this-->΀. Is there any way I can enable all Unicode instead of just most of it?
By the way I'm holding alt, pressing + and then using the numpad to type in the numbers in the hex code.

Any useful help will be greatly appreciated.

It depends on the Font that you are using. Some fonts implement more characters than others. If you try to display a Unicode character that is not provided by the font that you are using, then you get the blank box.

You can normally use the Charmap application to display all the fonts in your computer, and browse through them until you find one that contains the characters that you want. However, Charmap only displays the Base Page (codepoints up to FFFF), but the ones that you want are on a supplementary Unicode page. You may need to install a font that contains them, if none of the system-provided ones include these characters.

Also, be careful with the application that you are using. Some applications only support the Unicode Base Page (16 bits). Such applications would not be able to handle your U+103xx characters.
