Unicode BMP Fallback Font

Bob Hallissy, 2012-03-26

Intended for debugging, this font contains a glyph for every character in the Basic Multilingual plane (including Private Use Area) of Unicode, each glyph consisting of a box enclosing the four hex digits identifying the Unicode scalar value.

Updated!

Now contains glyphs for all Unicode 6.1 BMP characters, and released (with source) under OFL 1.1.
