Try Arial Unicode MS. That covers the widest swath of Unicode ranges of 
any font supplied by MS. Code 2000 might show even more. I don't know if 
you can construct fontsets on the w32 build of Emacs (I could never get 
them to work) but that route might get you the same coverage as with 
Arial Unicode MS.
