A set of typefaces that cover the whole Unicode character range

Does anybody know a set of typefaces that altogether cover the whole Unicode character range? we know that it is impossible to display all unicode characters using just one or two fonts. But probably, we can find a set of fonts using them the whole Unicode range could be displayed. Does anybody have any experience?

Thank you so much in advance.

as far as i know Arial Unicode is one of the full.

According to that link, Arial Unicode covers "a large subset of Unicode 2.1".

it is impossible to cover all unicode in one font. even it is impossible to cover Basic Multilingial Plane, because there is a limitation on maximum characters inside one font. is that "a large subset of Unicode 2.1" not enought for you?

One way to find such set of fonts is to look into Windows Font Linking. If you take a look at the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink you'll see fonts that "link" to cover the complete Unicode set.

Everson Mono covers a large portion of the Unicode characters, and SIL International makes a lot of different fonts for minority languages.
