>> Would it be possible to display the codepoint numerically in the box?
Displaying the UCS Code Point for characters which lack font support is
the norm in GTK. This is done by drawing a box around four or six digit
glyphs which are rendered in a smaller point size. I'd expect that this
is easier to read when using a proportional face.
Apple went in a slightly different direction and commissioned a fallback
font from Michael Everson which has one glyph per Unicode script and uses
that for each character associated with said script.
Emacs could easily do either (w/o the need for a font in the latter case).
