How to enable seeing unique symbols?
-
I’m constantly trying to find a way to display text symbols that do not show up in Notepad++
Currently I am needing to use the several of the Circled Latin letters, that are all displayed as ‘unknown squares’.
My understanding was that UTF-8 was needing to display this, but no symbols are displaying. I know the font can support this glyph as Sublime Text can display it, however it displays it in a way that doesn’t confirm to normal use of fonts (the character is bigger than it renders).
Is there a way to make these symbols appear?

I’m not going to lie, that thread makes no sense to me, the few gems I discovered lead me to create a reply.
This unknown (to me) symbol ‘〕’ (and other symbols found in that thread) allows me to use the ⓐⓔⓗⓈ symbols in Notepad++ if Notepad isn’t meant to be able to display them why does this symbol allow me to display it, and is that something I can enable that effect document wide so that I don’t need that (or similar) symbol to display symbols I want?

sorry, don’t really understand your reply.
In the thread it is discussed what needs to be done to use a certain font
to see the symbols supported by that font and that notepad++ doesn’t use
fallback fonts currently, so it can’t use a different font if the current configured
one doesn’t display it correctly.Does this makes sense to you?

If I input this symbol ‘〕’ I can display ⓐⓔⓗⓈ in Notepad++. Without that symbol, they display as squares.
If I remove the first symbol, the circular letters revert to displaying squares. If I paste in the circular symbols, then paste in that first symbol, they squares display the correct symbols.
Something about this symbol 〕 lets me display ⓐⓔⓗⓈ, but without that first symbol, they display as squares.

I copy and paste this symbol into a new notepad++ document 〕
I copy and paste these symbols into that document ⓐⓔⓗⓈ
I delete 〕
These symbols ⓐⓔⓗⓈ revert to squares.If a new line is created, the 〕 symbol is needed again, and can appear anywhere on the line.

upload to hosters like imgur and use the syntax
Missing point, which font you are using? I use symbola for the image posted.

Using InputMono Light, displays this - https://imgur.com/a/sarWKZS
Using Symbola shows the symbol regardless of any other symbols.
This is starting to sound like a bug, or quirk.

With DejaVu Sans Mono, all I have to do is insert or remove newline between the
〕andⓐⓔⓗⓈ:

There seem to be a difference in OS as well because I went through all of the installed
fonts on my linux and none of them behave like described. I always see a consistent behavior regardless whether the 〕is used in front or not.
For example the font DejaVu Sans Mono on linux show only the rectangles.
