Is there a glyph not found character in Unicode?
So while there is no official “glyph not found” character defined in Unicode that will map to the .notdef glyph, the above non-character is in practice guaranteed to display that glyph, whatever the glyph design is in that particular font.
Why don’t Unicode fonts include all characters?
Over time the Unicode standard grew to the point where it was not possible to include all encoded characters in a single font file, so today most applications rely on font linking or font fallback to provide appropriate language support when a selected font doesn’t include the characters you need.
Is there a font that maps glyphs to glyphs?
At least no known Windows system font maps that non-character to a glyph, and highly unlikely any Linux/Mac system font either. Even the all encompassing Last Resort font ( http://www.unicode.org/policies/lastresortfont_eula.html) doesn’t appear to map it.
What does “glyph not found” mean?
