Unicode fonts do not exist (apart from some very specific experiments no one uses in real life). What exist is fonts that cover more-or less wide ranges of the Unicode standard (and remember the standard is revised regularly so those fonts need regular maintenance to follow standard changes). And those covered ranges typically overlap in less than convenient ways (it's not just font A + font B + font C, some ranges like latin get ridiculous over-coverage and others are only covered by a specific font, or are not covered at all). So, to answer your question, you need to identify the unicode ranges that matter to you, and search for a font-set that provides the needed coverage. If you're lucky whoever did the UTF-8 conversion plugged your app in pango/harfbuzz/fontconfig, and fontconfig will to the font mixing for you. If you're un-lucky you're better hope all the unicode ranges you need are supported in a single font. Otherwise you'll have to either add fontconfig support yourself, or use different software instances with different hardcoded fonts for different regions. CJK is a particular hairball as the same codepoint need to be represented differently depending on the region. Here locale+fontconfig support is a must.
