11 beta testing, the Unicode point U+925E switches between tofu outline and the glyph rendered as you choose from the sizes available in the XTerm context menu. The `enormous' option shows that glyph.
For bitmap fonts, see if `xfd' shows the glyph corresponding to the codepoint. Typically only bitmap fonts ending in `-iso10646-1' will have any glyphs > 256.
Whatever is working for `enormous' if it could be selected for the smaller fontsizes helps to avoid the unexpected character loss.

If I want to see Unicode chars., I simply turn on `TrueType Fonts' from the menu, and font-size selection works as usual. HTH, -RVP
