displaying characters using numeric codes: & # 2039

3

I tried searching for it on Google, but it was difficult because a lot of other subjects are related, so here I ask.

I am using special characters, printed from their numeric code, on a page: & # 2039 = ߷

But some characters are not displayed: & # 1970 = ޲ (for me a square with numbers appears inside)

This happens with several numeric codes.

My questions are:

  • Does this problem exist because the symbol does not exist for the specified number?

  • Is this related to the language? (obs: various Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and other characters appear normally)

  • My concern is that the page depends on some type of configuration, and the result will be different depending on the user / system / browser / language.

    This article describes issues caused by missing font and missing or corrupted fonts and other issues where websites do not display exactly like that overlaps or you see gibberish or diamonds with a '?' or boxes with hex code.

    Our goal is to promote usage and support of the UTF-8 encoding and to convince that it should be the default choice of encoding for storing text strings in memory or on disk, for communication and all other uses.   Many third-party libraries for Windows do not support Unicode: they accept narrow string parameters and pass them to the ANSI API
