I had referred to box-drawing characters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character
This morning I see that the required characters are
U+2E22 TOP LEFT HALF BRACKET and U+2E23 TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET
which are not in box-drawing. HALF BRACKETs are visible here.

> Anyone of these?
?
Usually a font is installed or not. Having a subset of a font
installed would be unusual.
> To get "???" I have to type "ctrl+shift+u+251B"
That's ISO/IEC 10646-2011, U+251B BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY UP AND LEFT.
I'm trying to find where U+2E22 TOP LEFT HALF BRACKET and U+2E23
TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKETSo reside. Other than possibly ASCII, fonts
aren't in the kernel nor in kernel modules. Fonts in Debian must
be in packages but which package contains the glyphs for U+2E22
and U+2E23?
This system has the characters but
peter@dalton:~$ fc-list | grep Suppl
peter@dalton:~$ fc-list | grep Punct
peter@dalton:~$
is no help. Perusing the whole output of fc-list is no
improvement.
Thanks for any ideas, ... Peter E.
