U+2099, U+27e8, and U+27e9 are displayed here (I have the STIX fonts
installed, and they are used for that).  The rest indeed aren't.

Do you have fonts installed that cover these codepoints?

It by default shows only 20 fonts, so perhaps Emacs searched more than
what it shows.  Invoking font-show-log with a negative argument will
cause it show all the fonts, without any limitations.
