As far as I can tell, the Unicode musical symbols block is not all
that well supported by existing fonts (as a composer and music
copyist, I hope that the situation will change). However, there are
plenty of non-Unicode music fonts out there, and some will contain
these symbols. Perhaps your best bet is to use a font editor* to
simply copy the appropriate glyph into the right slot...

Sorry not to have better news. Are you trying to find font coverage
information as such, or do you just need to display the glyphs
regardless of encoding?
Best,
