noto-fonts-cjk contains some asian characters. noto-fonts-emoji contains emojis.

Also check packages ending with "-nerd", those are fonts that have patched extra symbols. They are used by several Neovim plugins, for example.

    Not sure how the typical user would go about it but as an Emacs user I'd yank the text into an Emacs buffer and hit C-x = on the characters to identify them.

    My question was, is there a way to find out which is missing?
    Based on the numbers in the squares.
    I know it's Japanese in this case, but others aren't straight-forward.

    Looking at the unicode characters inside, it seems you need CJK font support. You can get noto-fonts-cjk to fix it.
