The Arial Unicode MS font contains a much larger set of glyphs than the earlier Bitstream Cyberbit fonts (see below). It is currently probably the only Unicode font that contains at least all of the approximately 40,000 glyphs (that is, alphabetical characters, ideographic/logographic characters and their variants, and symbols) that are defined in the Unicode 2.1 standard, including English, CJK and scripts of numerous other languages, as well as diacritic marks and symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

Character Map also has an 'Advanced View' option with useful search functions, such as searching for specific character sets, searching for a specific CJK character using Unicode's code for that character, searching via grouping of CJK characters by radical plus stroke count (i.e., Group by: 'Ideographs by Radical'), and searching for a subrange of Unicode in a large font such as Arial Unicode MS, containing 51,180 glyphs i.e., all the glyphs in Unicode 2.1. The program can also be used to input Pinyin with tone diacritics available in Times New Roman, Arial, and other freely-available fonts that are Unicode-based and are not software-specific fonts. See Character Map in English Windows 95/98 versus English Windows 2000 for illustration of how one can use the Character Map program in Windows 2000 for copying and pasting CJK characters into one's file, especially CJK characters that are difficult to access using conventional romanization input methods that do not provide ready access all the CJK characters in a font. The version for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 (and maybe Windows Me also?) can display/access all letters, symbols, *and* double-byte CJK characters in a font. (Click your 'BACK' button to return to this page.) For more info on Unicode, see my ChinaLinks3 subsection on Unicode and Chinese Character Sets and Internal Codes.) Also, freely bundled with Windows, is a small utility program, Character Map (under 'Accessories'), which can display/access the letters and symbols in a selected font.
At my website, one frequently-visited, UTF8-encoded webpage is Word Lists and Online Glossaries/Dictionaries. Or test those pages using the multilingual Arial Unicode MS font (23.6 MB). A sample of a Unicode-encoded text file for reading with web browser set for the SimSun font is nan2_txt_test and nan2_utf-8_test). In addition, MS Office 2000 comes with two huge, megabyte-sized, Chinese Unicode fonts viz., PMingLiU (8.6 MB) and SimSun (10.5 MB).

It is also worth noting that various software for Chinese input operating under Win95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP now support third-party, Unicode, TrueType Fonts (TTF). Unless noted otherwise, these fonts (Unicode for some) can be downloaded free of charge.
