Only in Emacs-23 (from CVS), and then probably only if you've taught 
Emacs which font contains that character (by default, Emacs does not 
have very sophisticated rules for choosing fonts for Unicode Plane 1 
characters):

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1D400 . #x1D7FF) (font-spec 
:family "MathematicalAlphanumericSymbolFont"))

... including whatever else is necessary to uniquely identify that font 
in the font-spec (eg. you might need registry and/or foundry if there 
are other fonts with the same family name installed).
