I have tried the Symbola font from here:

http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ <http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/>

starting emacs with Emacs -q -Q, it does not display the unicode char at all.

tried apply configuration:

(set-frame-font "Monaco:pixelsize=16")
(set-fontset-font
 (frame-parameter nil 'font) 'symbol (font-spec :family "Symbola") nil 'prepend)

The same, it does not work.
