Unicode contains a few special 'characters' which are not displayable by most fonts. I want to use one of them, a video camera.

QR Code 2005 does not support Unicode natively. The default character set is ISO8859-1. The standard supports character encodings through ECI however most 2D barcode readers do not support it. Because there is a demand on encoding characters outside ISO8859-1, several methods have been developed. The content should appear properly if Word is set to Keep Source Formatting by default for pasted text. If so, select the content and the Word font menu will show you the source font on your computer that contains the necessary character. Granted, there may be others, but at least this is a quick and dirty way to find one font that may be suitable. Download free Japanese unicode, handwriting, calligraphy fonts and more that can be used in commercial works! Togalite (トガリテ) is a display style free Japanese font which comes with 6 font weight. The font was designed based off the popular open source font M+, the difference is.
It seems that such a character exists indeed, and has the codepoint U+1F4F9. When I visit http://graphemica.com/%F0%9F%93%B9, I see it displayed both on the webpage and in Firefox's URL bar. So I assume that I have at least one font on my system which contains the glyph.
But when I paste it into Inkscape, I get the empty box for an unknown character, even if I choose a font which usually has many glyphs, like Arial.
How do I find out which of the fonts I have installed can display the 'character'?

There you can query Unicode characters and get a list of supporting fonts.

I completely understand the question as I ran into the same problem myself:
You know your computer has the font installed because one program displays the content properly, but another program displays the same content as a blank box because it doesn't know what font to use to display properly. And you don't want to scroll through all the fonts to find one that contains the character you want. Tekken 4 pc utorrent.
Try pasting the copied text/symbol into a blank Microsoft Word doc. The content should appear properly if Word is set to Keep Source Formatting by default for pasted text. If so, select the content and the Word font menu will show you the source font on your computer that contains the necessary character. Granted, there may be others, but at least this is a quick and dirty way to find one font that may be suitable.

The following Python script would print all fonts containing a character (tested on my Linux box).
