    Download, un-ZIP, and install font(s).

    BabelPad has a sophisticated font analysis tool which can,
    among other things, copy all the characters from a selected
    font to the clipboard. Pasting that into a new plain text
    file lists the characters by code point, font glyph, and
    Unicode name.

    I have tried this with the general font, and it looks like
    there are some mappings which aren't yet official:

    (partial listing follows)
    U+2B18 ⬘ DIAMOND WITH TOP HALF BLACK
    U+2B19 ⬙ DIAMOND WITH BOTTOM HALF BLACK
    U+2B1A ⬚ DOTTED SQUARE
    U+2B1B ⬛ <reserved>
    U+2B1C ⬜ <reserved>
    U+2B1D ⬝ <reserved>
    U+2B1E ⬞ <reserved>
    U+2B1F ⬟ <reserved>
    U+2B20 ⬠ WHITE PENTAGON
    U+2B21 ⬡ WHITE HEXAGON
    U+2B22 ⬢ BLACK HEXAGON
    U+2B23 ⬣ HORIZONTAL BLACK HEXAGON
    U+2B24 ⬤ <reserved>
    U+2B25 ⬥ <reserved>
    U+2B26 ⬦ <reserved>
    U+2B27 ⬧ <reserved>
    ... several more <reserved> positions snipped

    The font is pleasing in appearance.

    Best regards,

    James Kass
