> What kind of symbols do you wnat to render?

I had referred to box-drawing characters. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character 

This morning I see that the required characters are 
U+2E22 TOP LEFT HALF BRACKET and U+2E23 TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET 
which are not in box-drawing.  HALF BRACKETs are visible here.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Unicode/Supplemental_Punctuation

> Anyone of these?

?  

Usually a font is installed or not.  Having a subset of a font 
installed would be unusual.

> To get "†”›" I have to type "ctrl+shift+u+251B"

That's ISO/IEC 10646-2011, U+251B BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY UP AND LEFT.

I'm trying to find where U+2E22 TOP LEFT HALF BRACKET and U+2E23 
TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKETSo reside.  Other than possibly ASCII, fonts 
aren't in the kernel nor in kernel modules.  Fonts in Debian must 
be in packages but which package contains the glyphs for U+2E22 
and U+2E23?  

This system has the characters but 
peter@dalton:~$ fc-list | grep Suppl
peter@dalton:~$ fc-list | grep Punct
peter@dalton:~$
is no help.  Perusing the whole output of fc-list is no 
improvement.

Thanks for any ideas,         ... Peter E.
