The characters that appear in the first column of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni, AR PL ZenKai Uni, BabelStone Han, Code2000, HAN NOM A, HanaMin Regular, Kozuka Mincho Pro Acro, Ming(for ISO10646), MingLiU, MingLiU_HKSCS, MSung Std Acro, NSimSun-18030, PMingLiU, SimSun-18030, STSong Std Acro, Sun-ExtA, WenQuanYi Zen Hei, WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono and YOzFontN; and in the Macintosh OS X Unicode fonts Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro, Hiragino Kaku Gothic Std, Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro, Hiragino Mincho Pro, SimSun, STFangsong, STHeiti, STKaiti and STSong.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.
