    Here's a page from Alan Wood about Unicode's Plane Two, in which
    CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B characters are assigned:

    http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/cjk_unified_ideographs_extension_b.html

    As Doug Ewell mentions, not too many fonts cover Plane Two.

    If you have a small set of glyphs to be displayed from Plane Two,
    you might try accessing the graphics at the Unicode web site. For
    the chu nom character you request, the HTML code would be:
    <img src="http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/RedirectRefGlyphs.pl/01/U21A38.gif">

    Best regards,
