It is part of the Gallery of Unicode Fonts and is based on the following sources:

pick the desired font name

from this list    - or -       by typing in the exact font name

The selected font must be installed on your system. This page might not display properly with older versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape. Additionally, Netscape & Firefox may show an unsupported character using a different font to the one selected. Internet Explorer seems to do this too, but to a much lesser extent. This problem (feature?) will be noticeable on this page since the characters span many Unicode blocks.

Codepoints added with Unicode version 4.1.0 are shown with a yellow background.

Reserved/unallocated codepoints are shown with a gray background.

There are two sections presented below to test currency symbols:
