It's been decades since I had to look at code points, and that was mostly in the > context of European language translations rather than "icons" or emoji.

If a font is not available for some character, Emacs will by default show a box with a hex code. That happens on any platform, not just on Windows. But for icons, we use small images, and we use the libxpm library to show them.
