The font packages available on a desktop environment with a default
|
|
FreeBSD installation do not support the
|
|
[Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols_and_Pictographs)
|
|
Unicode range (U+1F300..U+1F5FF), which contains various dingbats
|
|
and emoji.
|
|
|
|
A nice vector font providing these symbols is however available
|
|
from ports: `x11-fonts/symbola`.
|
|
|
|
(Note: `x11-fonts/gnu-unifont` and `x11-fonts/gnu-unifont-ttf` are not
|
|
nearly as exhaustive.)
|

|
**Update 2017-01-23** Similar problem on Debian (CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
|
|
(U+24CB), Ⓥ was missing). Resolved by installing `fonts-linuxlibertine`.
