The following MWE tries to display two characters from the STIX fonts (U+1D61F and U+2047). Both are listed in https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts/blob/master/docs/STIXTwoMath-Regular.pdf

One of them displays, the other doesn't.

Why is that, and how to get around it?

MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside, final]{article}

\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfontface\StixTwoMath{STIX Two Math}


\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}


% Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols.


\NewDocumentCommand\BCon{}{{\ensuremath{\StixTwoMath{\char"1D61F}}}}


% General Punctuation.


\NewDocumentCommand\BNc{}{{\ensuremath{\StixTwoMath{\char"2047}}}}
\NewDocumentCommand\BNq{}{{\ensuremath{\StixTwoMath{\Question}}}}


\begin{document}


\BCon{}: The \enquote{\BCon{} signifies a double.}


\BNc{}: The \enquote{\BNc{} signifies an arbitrary bid.}


\BNq{}: The \enquote{\BNq{} signifies an arbitrary bid.}


\end{document}

    do not ignore warnings Missing character: There is no ⁇ (U+2047) in font [latinmodern-math.otf]:mode you are using latin moder math – David Carlisle Oct 29 '22 at 17:46
  • I think the switch to another math font should be done in another way. Have a look at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/128887/switching-math-fonts-with-unicode-math – Michael Fraiman Oct 29 '22 at 17:47
  • Thanks David - so I am. Not at all what I expected.!!! – DLyons Oct 29 '22 at 18:11
  • Thanks for the link Martin. In the full system I was trying to switch a (working) mess of fonts to a single one, STIX. – DLyons Oct 29 '22 at 18:14
  • you have defined \StixTwoMath as a text font switch so (like \sffamily ) it does nothing in math, also you accessed the character via \char which is mainly for text so would have worked if you had not used \ensuremath but as you load unicode-math I suspect you want to use \setmathfont to load stix two math – David Carlisle Oct 29 '22 at 19:54

It seems here a basically non mathematical use, so you can set up the font as a text font family

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside, final]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\StixTwoMath{STIX Two Math}


\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}


% Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols.


\NewDocumentCommand\BCon{}{{\StixTwoMath\char"1D61F}}


% General Punctuation.


\NewDocumentCommand\BNc{}{{\StixTwoMath\char"2047}}


\begin{document}


\BCon{}: The \enquote{\BCon{} signifies a double.}


\BNc{}: The \enquote{\BNc{} signifies an arbitrary bid.}


\end{document}
