Emacs supports unicode-sip displaying at least on Unix/Linux
where we can use fontconfig and freetype.  See the attached
image (result of M-x list-charset-chars RET unicode-sip
RET).  Emacs asks a font-backend to get a font whose
registry is "unicode-sip", and fontconfig backend searches
for fonts that support at least U+20000 for such a request.

Perhaps, Mac's font-backend is not doing that.
