The font is available as shareware from the author's website.
Other well-known Unicode fonts include Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, and the Free Software Foundation fonts.

ISO-8859-1 characters are also included, as per the specifications.
Old Persian Cuneiform, Tengwar, and Cirth are not yet approved for use in Unicode, and therefore are encoded in Private Use Areas, both in the Basic Multilingual Plane and Plane Fifteen.
