I know that. You're not really answering the above question. When people = expect a character to be returned, they expect a character and not a = code point. How useful is: (decode-char 'emacs 345) 345 (#o531, #x159) ? I already know that the code point is 345. > If you want to suggest a different way of looking for a suitable font, = please do. Maybe not "look for a suitable font" but set a default font for that = action. There is a finite number of standard fonts on systems that = support emacs.
