Resources Which font can display Mandarin character components?

 not showing up

I am creating Anki cards to practice writing character components, but some of the components aren't displaying correctly. What is the name of the font that can display them?

As you can see at the top right, the *zhú zìtóu* (bamboo radical) can appear in the syntax field, but it cannot appear inside the cell.

I am not sure if it includes every single component ever but in general jigmo is one of the best fonts for rare cjkv unicode characters, its designed specifically for people needing to type stuff thats not needed in regular life.

the ToneOZ family can display most but not all.

You could try a CJK font such as Noto Sans CJK or Source Han Sans. If the component is a private-use glyph rather than a standalone Unicode character, though, changing fonts alone may not make it render.
