Browsers - maybe. But not Visual Studio. I also tried, in charmap, some other fonts I have which are known to support well unicode. Lots of characters are still missing.

Recent versions of Visual Studio uses Uniscribe, too... I tested with dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page DejaVu Sans (free font), and it shows in the charmap on XP. Maybe you can dl that font and test with it too.

Segoe UI and Consolas do not contain U+2709, so a program that seems to show it in one of those fonts is just using a substitute font—probably Arial Unicode MS or a DejaVu font. Among fonts that people normally have in their computers, probably no other font contains that character, see fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2709/fontsupport.htm

that's expected. No single font contains all possible characters for Unicode, so the renderer has to do font substitution
