arbitrary utf8 characters in xelatex

I'm generating a pdf with xelatex that could contain arbitrary utf8 printable characters. Is there a font that will support all unicode printable characters? If not, what are the pluses and minuses of various fonts? Are there characters other than {}_#%&$ that need to be escaped or otherwise specially treated?

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_font lists the main "large" fonts eg gnu unifont covers the BMP, but that still leaves the math alphabets which are in plane 1

  • BMP only would be a good start. I see blog.michael.franzl.name/2014/12/10/… which (assuming it works) could be applied per other script
