I agree with everything in this post, but just one comment here:
There's two philosophies here, depending on the "class" of the
application. The applications that are primarily concerned with
displaying documents (Chrome, Firefox, Libreoffice) put a lot of work
into this, and both have giant lists of fonts preinstalled, and are
distributed with (some) fonts.
Other apps, that are more bare-bones (like Terminal) just look at the
default font and then tufo if the font doesn't have that glyph.
Emacs is somewhere in the middle here, as usual.
