    This is the kind of oddball question that often appears in the Unicode reddit forum.

    (I understand that Laura's question is reasonable given her circumstance. But not many people assemble such combinations of unrelated characters.)

    Hi Laura, a math font would typically cover a vast number of these symbols. However, there is a few oddities in the set which will make it hard to find a single font that covers everything you've listed. For example, the ՞ARMENIAN QUESTION MARK (U+055E) is not typically in a math font; and neither is the 彡 CJK Ideograph (U+5F61).

    Im guessing you have a client that's requesting all of these for some reason or another?

    A graphic designer used it for her text, delivered in Word. Once you want to reproduce it at the book layout, I can't find any font that has them all, I wonder which is the font that can display that set here, so I guess it is mix? Thank you!

    Stix Two Math (here) and Cambria Math will support most of those characters IIRC.
    Adobe has some default typefaces that will support the CJK ideograph. The Armenian one is a little trickier.

    In what context are these characters being used? Are they in running text or used decoratively, or something else? If they are ornamental, it might be best to redraw them as artwork so they all match in style?

    FWIW: IBM Plex Math includes these characters except for seven of them.
