Code2001 font – download and test

The Code2001 font contains a respectable collection of more or less exotic Unicode characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), specifically characters in Supplementary Multilingual Plane (Plane 1). It was designed by James Kass and was declared freeware, but its distribution site disappeared and its status was unclear. There is no official download site, but there us Code2001 version 0.917 at Fonts2u.com and Code2001 version 0.919 available via Alan Wood’s Downloads page.

This page lets you test that you have the Code2001 font properly installed. The page also tests how browsers can render characters. See Guide to using special characters in HTML for notes on the rendering problems.

In the following table, the second column contains some character(s) without any font family setting, whereas the third column contains the same character(s) with a CSS rule font-family: Code2001. Thus, the second column shows the characters as rendered by the browser when using some default font settings. Beware that some browsers may be unable to render a character under such settings, even if Code2001 has been installed.
