 / Glyphs / Older Unicode?

 Well.  None of the bundled fonts include the Dingbats Unicode code block.

 Bundling `NotoSansSymbols-Regular.ttf` (832 KiB) along with some font-
 config trickery would be an improvement, though I am uncertain as to how
 real browser developers want to handle the download/bundle space vs
 coverage tradeoff.
