I'd love to see that in Javascript.  Of course then you need to know if it will 
shape correctly as well for it to be useful to the end user.  Dotted circles 
are only marginally better than square boxes.  And that's a much harder 
question to answer...

It would be really nice if there were a way to just query the darned 
rendering engine as to whether it can render character U+xxxx at all, as 
opposed to displaying a .notdef glyph.  Anything beyond that would be a 
bonus.
