How do I resolve missing characters in my unicode font?

The most comprehensive font package I have found is font-noto. Installing this has always fixed whatever font-display issues I was having:

sudo apt install fonts-noto

Then, restart your browser and everything should work as expected.


Install package ttf-ancient-fonts.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts

In order to see the missing characters, you need to install a font which contains them.

I've found that Symbola contains the best range of characters.

  • Download the zip file.
  • Install the two .ttf fonts - if you double click on then, you should see a font preview, click the "Install" button.

With the latest version (8.0.0) I'm able to see the dog symbol and the slice of pizza symbol .
