Hello
I don't know if it will be of much help, but when I want to bring in a
character from another font (such as the upper half-brackets U2E22 and U2E23
you're having trouble with), I make the character active so that whenever
TeX encounters it, it fetches it from another font which does have it.
E.g.:
\catcode"2E22=\active
\def⸢{\leavevmode {\otherfont \char"2E22}}
And if you find there is some undesirable visual effect, such as bunching up
of this alien character, or that it isn't quite at the right height, you can
add any necessary commands to this to make it look right in your main font.
E.g.
\catcode"2E22=\active
\def⸢{\leavevmode {\otherfont \raise 0.15em \hbox{\char"2E22}}\kern 0.1em}
Hope this helps - I'm not a LaTeX user but as far as I know these basic
plain TeX commands usually work.

Subject: Re: [XeTeX] unicode characters not showing in xelatex
My preamble reads:
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX, Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
\newfontfamily\greek{Times New Roman}
\newfontfamily{\akk}{Linux Libertine O Italic}
\newfontfamily{\sux}[Letters=SmallCaps]{Linux Libertine O}
\newfontfamily{\Cun}{Akkadian}
All these fonts work in osx apps. Libertine works for me better than Times
New Roman in xelatex: it displays the subscript unicode numbers, but not
some special brackets used for critical editions: ⸢ and ⸣. I also get a
segmentation fault when trying to use DeJaVu Sans fonts.

Hi Jacobo,
I'm experiencing problems with xelatex and unicode subscript numbers.
They work well in osx applications like Texshop and openoffice but they
are not displayed in the final pdf generated by xelatex.
Have you made sure to load the appropriate fonts? (is there a
\package{fontspec} and \setmainfont{My Unicode Supporting Font} line in
your preamble, for example?). TexShop and OpenOffice pick their own
"whichever works best" fonts, XeLaTeX will only use the fonts you tell it
to.
