Fallback font

This is a version of the macOS Last Resort system font, modified to work on non-Apple platforms and made available by Apple via the Unicode Consortium.

[3] The symbols provided by the Unicode Last Resort font place glyphs into categories based on their location in the Unicode system and provide a hint to the user about which font or script is required to view the unavailable characters.

The symbols provided by the Unicode Last Resort font are square with rounded corners with a bold outline.

In the left and right sides of the outline, the Unicode range that the character belongs to is given using hexadecimal digits.

Unicode now has over 100,000 defined characters, with a potential address space of over one million characters—over 15 times the sfnt size limit.

In 2001, for Mac OS X 10.1 the Last Resort font design was revised to include the border text and was re-digitized, and extended by Michael Everson of Evertype, who continues to update it with each new release of Unicode.
