About:
Last Resort High-Efficiency is a font designed to display any Unicode character for which no other font has a glyph. It provides a visual fallback, showing a box with the Unicode code point, ensuring that missing characters are visibly represented rather than rendering as an empty box or question mark.

Key Features:

Displays a box with the hexadecimal code point for any unsupported character
Covers the entire Unicode code space, from U+0000 to U+10FFFF
Acts as a definitive last resort font for system-wide fallback
Maintains consistent visual style for missing glyphs

Use Cases:

Debugging and visualizing text with unknown or unsupported characters
System-level font configuration to prevent invisible missing glyphs
Web development for ensuring all Unicode content is represented

Alternatives:

Noto Sans – Aims to be a universal font covering all Unicode characters, whereas Last Resort is specifically for characters not covered by any other font.
Symbola – Provides extensive Unicode symbol coverage but is a standard font, not a dedicated fallback for missing characters.
