Hi!
If I use describe-char
on "∅" it tells me, that
this character has category
j:japanese.
Why? Ist in x2200 - x22FF of
Unicode, which is Mathematical
Operators ...
I suspect that because of this,
it gets displayed in a different
font, then my default. Which would
have a glyph for it.
Yours sincerely,
Eric

AFAIU, coding category is not used for font selection, it is used to narrow down appropriate coding systems when a buffer has the coding system "undecided". Since this character is covered by the JISX-0208 standard, it gets the Japanese tag (along with most ASCII characters and many more that you might not consider Japanese).
