Hi,

Thank you, this looks like it might be what I'm looking for.

Take care,
Michael.

Font-config can do this, though its documentation, API, and command-line
interface are all rather inscrutable.  I wrote a program that can take
any character as input and give you the filename of a font with it.

Just put the two files anywhere, then:

make
./CharSearch ①

I.e. put the character you're looking for as the first and only
argument.  Only tested with en_US.UTF-8 as LANG environment variable.

CC=gcc
CFLAGS=--std=c99 -I /usr/include -I /usr/include/fontconfig -L /usr/lib/ -l fontconfig
OBJ=CharSearch

CharSearch: CharSearch.c
       ${CC} ${CFLAGS} CharSearch.c -o ${OBJ}

clean:
       rm ${OBJ}
