For example, Egyptian Hieroglyphics

Font sample: https://github.com/microsoft/font-tools/blob/main/EgyptianOpenType/font/eot.ttf

Example text: 𓀀𓐰𓈖 U+13000 U+13430 U+13216

Should render as:

But due to bugs/limits in EDIT Win32 control, renders with TMemo (EDIT) as:

17.0.330

I looked at doing this but unfortunately the richedit control referenced in the version of Delphi we are stuck on is version 2.0. This version has too many limitations relating to display of text to make it viable (e.g. diacritics get spacing). Postponing this until we replace Delphi.

OK, unblocked again because I found a quick and reasonably easy way to replace the component. Now in test.
