Hoi,
This specific character mentioned in the article is used to write the
Tanimuca-RetuarĂ£ language. This is specified in the article. itself.
Languages that need characters that are missing in fonts that are in general
use are not isolated affairs. In the end there is only one solution; we
should be part of a solution that allows us to show all characters.
Thanks,
GerardM

No, it's not. We're talking about a specific article on the English
Wikipedia about a single obscure character, and related cases where
isolated characters don't display properly. Nothing I said should be
construed to have any bearing on radically different situations, such
as an entire wiki whose language is poorly supported on common
platforms. While I appreciate that you take a great interest in
technical topics related to internationalization, this is not such a
topic.
