The Last Resort Unicode Font

The Last Resort font is a collection of glyphs to represent types of Unicode characters that are designed to allows users to recognize that an encoded value is one of the following:

  • a specific type of Unicode character
  • in the Private Use Area (no private agreement exists)
  • unassigned (reserved for future assignment)
  • one of the illegal character codes

These glyphs are used as the backup of "last resort" to any other font; or rather, if the font cannot represent a particular Unicode character, the "last resort" font will supply the appropriate missing glyph(s), giving the users at least some sense of what the character is or should be, as well as providing clues as to what type of font is needed to display the character correctly.
