Hoi,
The WMF does have the technology to provide the font from its servers. It is not the case
that characters would not show properly.
Thanks,

How? The topic have been discussed on Chinese Wikipedia for months
last year (See:
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:%E7%BC%BA%E5%AD%97 ) yet
there are still no implementable solution to solve the problem of
displaying Chinese characters that are either unencoded by Unicode yet
or newly encoded but without sufficient font support yet

If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. If a language is worthy of a
Wikipedia, its characters are worth encoding.
I will vehemently oppose any Wikipedia which has to use the PUA to display text.

Unicode's priority is not the same as Wikipedia/WMF. For example,
there are quite a few Chinese characters that are used in various
different Chinese Wikipedia article but Unicode either haven't encoded
them or they have already refused to encode those characters based on
various reasons.
